Jerry,
I didn't explain myself properly in my OP. I'm trying to use the Terminal to do it. Anyway, I worked it out. simply unrar x myfile.rar /media/linuxlite/mydevice/ where myfile.rar is the filepath for the rar and mydevice is the external drive location. I also experimented with mv to move the file from /home to /mydevice and that worked. So, I'm slowly learning! Of course your way works too as I tried. I'm writing this in case anyone searches in the future.
Is there a list of the most frequently used command Terminal commands and what they do? I know this isn't LL specific.
And while I've got you can I just say thank you for LL. I developed an audio-visual condition in 2013. I used a high-ish end mac upto then. Now I can only use low spec machines. I'm on a Dell D610. LL runs fine on it. That and a piece of Linux software that a work colleague wrote for free (my employer doesn't support Linux) has enabled me to keep working the same job.
