No--grep is the command name
It searches for a string in a file
So typing in "grep mouse messages" at the command line will search for the word "mouse" in the file "messages" within the /var/log directory.

ok, next question, what’s “terminal?” Where do I type in the grep command? Sorry, I really am not good at this Linux thing.

Hang on, hang on, I found the terminal window, or rather, I figured out how to access it.
bkelley@bkelley50-PC /var/log $ grep mouse message
grep: messages: No such file or directory
I take it that's not a good thing
