We're going to use the ln command to create a shortcut from your class account
to this "in class code" folder. 

Run this command in your home directory of your class account.

ln -s /u1/h1/jcompton5/public_html/cs256/code classCode

that will create a shortcut named "classCode" that goes to  the in-class code 
folder in your home directory. Once you do that, all you will have to do to get
to the in class code is type "cd classCode" while in your home directory.
