[LBo] About the CLI prompt

Here is what my cli prompt looks like in Linux:

hrosen70 at linux:~>

Here it is again with a command:

hrosen70 at linux:~> cat /etc/fstab | grep /dev/hdb11

Actually there are 2 commands.  The first is cat /etc/fstab
and the second is grep /dev/hdb11

which gets its input from the pipe "|"

I hope this clarifies a little about entering commands at the command line, 
the CLI.
