Sorry, use only one dot '.' if you are in the top level dir (means move 
it 'here').

The double dots '..' are what you use if you are in the config dir and 
want to move it up one from there.

pwd

shows you which dir you are in if you forget.

Sorry about the mistake and the confusion! I make these mistakes all the 
time. :-(
