Darwin Terminal Question

Miscellaneous Forums/MacOS X Discussion/Darwin Terminal Question

I've been experimenting with the "Terminal".

I know it's Unix based, therefore (odd as it may seem) a Linux command sheet was helpful.

But there's one thing I couldn't really get working.

I've the Mac version of "RAR" but I can't get it to work. I can run it by double clicking it in the finder but since RAR is command line based (the MAC version is), I cannot give any switches and other parameters with it.

Now I tried to run it from the terminal. I could get into the correct directory without problem, but when I type rar (which is really the name of the executable) it says that rar is not a valid command.

Since I'm a complete idiot when it comes to UNIX commands, since before I bought a MAC I've never used UNIX before, I might be doing something wrong.

Do you know how I could get this running?
