			Many beginners are rather confused by the differences between the terms "AmigaDOS" and "Shell". Some people think they just use the Shell or they are just using AmigaDOS commands in a shell window.
⚫	The AmigaDOS software is contained in files stored on the system partition. They are all binaries, either programs directly usable by the user, or libraries and other sets of functions usable by AmigaDOS itself.

In order to talk with AmigaDOS the user will use a shell to type commands and get the results from them.

			Now learn the basics and more complex uses of the [[UserDoc:Shell\|AmigaOS shell]].
	=== Starting a shell ===

			=== Files organisation on disk ===
	You can open a shell doing like this:

			Files and directories.
	* Double click the Shell icon, that you can find in the System folder of the system partition.

	TODO: insert icon image

	* Use the Execute requester of the Workbench and issue one of the following commands "newshell", "newcli" or "cli".

	=== Using a shell ===

	A shell being a text only interface you will use it almost exclusively with the keyboard. There are a few graphic elements that will require the use of a mouse: menu items, window sliders, tabs...

	TODO: insert shell image with tabs and menus

	When you double click on a CLI or Shell icon (or start up CLI in any other
	way) you could say that you are "Opening a Window to AmigaDOS".

			TODO: insert shell image with tabs and menus
	Thus CLI is only a very small part of AmigaDOS.
