Thank you for helping HCP.

Ok, I was putting the command in Terminal, not Bitcoin Console without the <>. I went to the console and I got this warning below. Is it safe to import bitcoin-cli importprivkey ? I only ask because I DO NOT fully understand the ramification of a command lol.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Core RPC console.
Use up and down arrows to navigate history, and Ctrl-L to clear screen.
Type help for an overview of available commands.
WARNING: Scammers have been active, telling users to type commands here, stealing their wallet contents. Do not use this console without fully understanding the ramification of a command.

Okay, crash course to help you understand a bit:
As the message says, typing in "help" lists all commands.
"help commandgoeshere" will explain the command of your choice.
Try "help importprivkey" and it should explain that it adds a private key to your core wallet (and the arguments for the command)
This interface is very powerful, and people can be very malicious, hence the warning. A certain level of paranoia is a good thing here - and don't just take my word for it on this info.

Oh and you won't need the "bitcoin-cli" part at the start when you're in this debug console.
