There is an application named Terminal (or Terminal.app) which is by default in your Applications/Utilities/ folder. It lets you execute Unix commands. I am not able to see the /usr/ folder tree with my Finder setup, so I can only look at it with Terminal. Maybe someone has a hint about how to let Finder peek behind the Unix curtain.
In the Finder: Shift+Command+G and type /usr in the input box followed by Return should let you see /usr and contents. (at least with me om Mac OS X 10.5.7)
Thanks Berend. I was not having difficulties using Terminal sessions for navigating the folder tree of hidden folders, but I think this will benefit those not raised on CLI systems in the pre-GUI years, so I am taking the liberty of copying to the list.
