 ## FAQ
 
+#### Will I need to execute any `cd` commands that aren't explicitly documented in the instructions?
+
+No.  You should **only change directories when instructed to.**  If you find yourself tempted to execute a `cd` command that isn't documented, resist that urge; it will cause later commands to fail.

 #### Why isn't mkioc used to create the training IOC?
 
 mkioc renames files and directories (references to xxx are replaced with the desired IOC name).  This makes it impossible to have a **solution** branch in the git repo that works for everyone.
