You can copy the full Calibre (or any other) command line from the browser and Paste it into the terminal, then press enter (or edit)
Only some of the Linux commands are different. But many of the basic console interface rules are the same.
Win: dir /w > foo.lst
Lin: ls -l > foo.lst
Unix existed BEFORE DOS and Windows.
M$ stole (borrowed?) heavily from it and CPM (also before MSDOS)
The 'man' pages were (and still are) my friend:
man -k <keyword>
IMHO M$ misnamed their version of the tool to 'Help'
 what does that mean ? or Why doesn't IT WORK?
still applies
man just does not imply it will help  |
Thanks ducks. Worked like a charm. I wrote it all down. I won't be intimidated by getting stuck in there anymore. And I'll be more comfortable copying and pasting programs in there too. Greatly appreciated.
