i think λ is his terminal prompt character, it would mean "type then next command in".

Thanks, I should have thought of that!

One more question (not really): Why is it called "toilet"?? Big Grin

The "wc" command means "Word Count". It is not the same as "toilet" Smile . Originally "wc" counted the words in a file. But soon also the number of bytes and the number of lines were counted as well.
