Finding Files:head command

When you have many files with names which you don't remember, try
this command:

        head * >header_text

This will create a file called "header_text" and store within it the
top 6 lines or so of each file on your directory, beginning each
entry with > * FILENAME * <.   It reviews the files alphabetically.

Then you can print the report or review it with your word-processor.
