Assuming your shell is bash, there are a lot of editing options  
available.  If you're interested type

	man bash

in Terminal, then type

	/^READLINE

and press Enter to read about them.

You can drag icons from Finder to Terminal.  The complete path of the  
directory/file will be inserted in the the command line.  Saves typing  
them.
