Recommend creating loop files in their own directory

[maneesha]

How could the content be improved?

In the loop episode, the first step is to create some files using

$ touch a.txt b.txt c.txt d.txt

and then later to loop through them using

$ for filename in ?.txt
> do
>    echo "$filename"
>    cp "$filename" backup_"$filename"
> done

If those four files were created in the same directory that the lesson's data files were saved in, then the lesson's *.txt files would get used in this loop. If we don't want to include those, then the files created here should be in their own directory.
