Consider adding a lesson on Terminal within RStudio #81

The new version of RStudio includes an Terminal interface. I think doing genomics data analysis people use a lot of bashscripts and often want to go back and forth to raw fastq read files (i.e. do a lot of tasks covered in http://www.datacarpentry.org/wrangling-genomics/00-quality-control/).

It would be good to show them that these data wrangling tasks can now be done from RStudio itself so that they do not have to switch back and forth between the terminal window and RStudio window.

Unrelated perk of new RStudio version: if you run a line of code, it detects related lines of code (like, connected by pipes or {} or ()) and runs all the lines.
