"cd" = Change Directory

so if you put it in a folder named "foo" on the desktop. Open Terminal and type
Code: 
cd ~/Desktop/foo

It's case sensitive, so you may need ~/Applications/Darwine, use the tab key for completion, e.g. hit ~/A<TAB>/D<TAB>

every time i hit tab all this stuff pops up. i know this sounds stupid, but can you tell me what to do for that step by step? thanks.

That just means you have more than one match, narrow it down and hit <TAB> again. if A<TAB> gives you too many matches, try Ap<TAB>

I don't know exactly what the files and folders are called so it's hard to give any more detail than I have.

Perhaps you should use Finder to move the folder somewhere else that is easier to navigate to say in your user folder (a.k.a. ~) and give it a unique name (e.g. ZZZ) so you could go to ~/ZZZ.

It depends where he stores his applications. I keep mine on / instead of the home folder. What you could do is just open a terminal folder type cd, and then just go to your applications folder and drag the Darwine folder into the terminal and press enter. That will take you directly to the folder you wanna go to.

I forgot that Finder would drag and drop the folder name! Good call!
