How I accessed the command line in libprs500

In order to access the command line interface in order to remove music off of the PRS500, I did the following:

1. I opened the Terminal.app found in applications/utilities
2. Under the "file" menu, I selected "New Command"
3. I used the following command: prs500 ls /Data/media/audio/
4. This listed the songs that were currently on my Sony PRS500.
5. I used the following command: prs500 rm /Data/media/images/(name of file).jpg to remove the song. I repeated this for each song.
6. I also used the same techniques on the following directory: prs500 ls /Data/media/images/ to get a listing of images, then using the "rm" command to remove them, one at a time.

This may seem obvious and redundant to some, but I am not a programmer and didn't have a clue as to how to go about it. I had never used the "Terminal" application before, but I did remember back in the old days of using a command prompt to access DOS, I just explored until I found something. Hope this is of some help.

Best Regards,

Christine
