Clicking on 'console' (or opening rxvt, or whatever Wary uses from the Puppy menu), as you did, will open a terminal window. From a ROX window, you can also press '~' to open a terminal window in that directory.

But, what are you trying to do? Get a listing of files in that directory? As far as I'm aware, 'dir' is a DOS command, not Unix/Linux, which would be why you're getting the 'command not found' error. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.) If you do want to get a listing of files in a directory, use the 'ls' command.

If you really want typing "dir" to give a directory listing, you can make it an alias by adding a line
alias dir='ls -la'
to the file /etc/profile or (better) to the file /root/.bashrc. Click the eye button in rox to see files whose names start with a dot.
