 <p>The BeanShell <code>pwd</code> command is like the Bash <code>pwd</code> command, and the BeanShell <code>print</code> command is somewhat like the Bash <code>echo</code> command.  But the syntax is different.  BeanShell and Java have syntax like most programming languages.  While Bash does <code>command arg1 arg2 arg3</code>, most programming languages do <code>command(arg1,arg2,arg3)</code>.  In addition, Java requires a <code>;</code> at the end of a statement (command line).</p>
 
+<p><code>pwd</code> and <code>print</code> are only BeanShell commands.  They are not in Java.</p>

 <p>Also note that Java has the standard arithmetic operators.</p>
