A quick note, in case you missed the > symbol used to create a new text file from another command starting at the 2:36 mark in this video.  It is called redirection and in this case is used to redirect standard output from the screen to a file. As you can imagine, it's a very useful feature.   -Paul

Also, at the 2:58 mark, we used the less command with option -N because that's required to add line numbers when reading a file.  Hang tight, we'll see how useful the wc command is in future videos.  -Paul
