When showing examples of commands, the $ symbol precedes the
actual command. So, the other lines are the output obtained after
executing the command. An example invoking the ls command
follows:
$ ls
PORTALNAME
In some examples, we refer to your portal name as the PORTALNAME
you have on FutureSystems.
USERNAME
In some examples, we refer to your local computers name as
USERNAME. Your portal name and your local name may be
different.
