Unix1b
`-- Unix1
    |-- admin
    |-- street
    |   |-- annex
    |   |-- building1
    |   `-- parking
    |-- faculty
    |-- history.exe
    |-- markham
    |   |-- outline.doc
    |   |-- programming
    |   |   `-- systems.pdf
    |   `-- security
    |-- course
    |   |-- gen_ed
    |   `-- lib_arts
    |       |-- english.txt
    |       `-- match.doc
    `-- mall
        |-- cafeteria
        |-- library
        `-- security
            |-- annex
            |-- building
            `-- parking

i did "mkdir -p Unix1b/Unix1"
then i do" cd Unix1"
username@matrix:~/Unix1> mkdir street
username@matrix:~/Unix1> mkdir admin
username@matrix:~/Unix1> cd street
username@matrix:~/Unix1/street> touch annex
username@matrix:~/Unix1/street> touch building1
now here is my question, what should i do for the for the parking in street directory.... what does that " `-- parking " mean?

am i even doing this right?

showing green means that it has read/write/execute permissions for all users. So anyone can modify it.

You can change the permissions with chmod 755
