#print
Of course, you can print any file with "cat".
In particular, it is common to first use
"ls" to find the name of a file and then "cat"
to print it.  Note the difference between
"ls", which tells you the name of the files,
and "cat", which tells you the contents.

One file in the current directory is named for
a President.  Print the file, then type "ready".
