Terminal question for a Mac User

[VorDog]

I'm not very familiar with Macs, and seem a little lost. So lost infact, i'm not even sure if i'm in the right spot.

I got here by looking into terminal, and then searching out the word UNIX, so if i'm way off, i am sorry from the start.

Using "Terminal" to play a BBS game and i'd love to set up a script.
Where would i need to write the script, and how could i find a guide to doing it?

Thank you.

And again, if i'm way off, very sorry.

Hi and welcome to macosx.com forums

May I redirect you to these two pages which will give you basic information, then advanced on the Unix scripting way
http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/bash-tute.html
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

These tutos are for bash Unix (yes, there is several Unix shells); just check yours by opening your Terminal application, going to its preferences and see which "/bin/..." shell is invoked

I havn't quite figured out where to imput the commands.
Honestly, after reading that, i'm still pretty lost.

Where do these commands get entered, and is there a way that if it reads a line of text, it will enter a command?

Have a look at http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/collections/unix.html

In particular the five sections dealing with Terminal

An Introduction to Tiger Terminal
An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 2
An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 3
An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 4
An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 5

That should give you a start.
