How do I open or close a terminal

Guys  I have an instruction as follows from Steam:

Note: If you are using Lion please do the following to enable your Library folder: 1. Open Terminal 2. Type chflags nohidden ~/Library 3. Close Terminal You should see the Library folder available through the Go menu on the menu bar while holding down the option key

Problem is I havent got a clue what the terminal to which they refer is or how to open or close it

And what is the option key?

Terminal is an application. You will find it in Applications - Utilities - Terminal. One keyboard shortcut for opening it (or any other app) is Command + Spacebar then type the app's name.

That's great though the above instruction appears to not be valid (presumably to close terminal you just click out?)

And what is the 'option' key referred to?

Here is what you do:

a) Open Terminal with the instructions I provided earlier (Command + Spacebar then type Terminal)

b) Type (or copy and paste from here) chflags nohidden ~/Library

c) Quit Terminal, the keyboard shortcut for quitting any app is Command Q

All this is trying to do is show the Library folder. Another method of doing this is:

a) Open a Finder window

b) Click the Go menu and select Go to Library

c) type (or copy and paste from here) ~/Library/

d) Click Go

I suspect you are only providing a portion of the instructions Steam is providing. If I am correct then you need to post all of the instructions. If that is all they provided then you need to contact Steam for additional help. Because I don't play any Steam games I don't know their system at all.

Click on the "Finder" application in your Dock, then in the "Go" menu, click "Utilites".

Open the "Terminal" application.
Type "chflags nohidden ~/Library" as instructed, and then press "Enter".
In the "Terminal" menu, click "Quit".

Close the "Utilities" folder window.

The Option key is sometimes labeled as "Alt" or "Opt", or with this symbol: ⌥ 
It's located between the "Control" and "Command" keys, bottom left of your keyboard.

Click on the "Finder" application in your Dock.
Hold down the Option key, and click the "Go" menu - you will see "Library" about halfway down the menu, which you can click on only while holding down the "Option" key.

Hope that clears things up for you!

I just needed to hear 'the keyboard shortcut for quitting any app is Command Q'...thanks!
