I have been working on a terminal! It has 3 simple commands which are `help`, `file` and `cd`

> **File command**

> `file` will create simple text file which is saved permanently on the device, although using `cd` you can delete it!

> **CD command**
>
> Using `cd` will open and delete any files that you have saved using `file`.

> **Help command**
>
> `help` shows everything above in a simpler form.

This release is only Alpha 0.1, but you should expect to see Alpha 0.2 with a Calculator and Contacts! And for Alpha 0.3 you can choose what’s next: the three most liked replies with ideas will be added!
