Clarification is in order. Commands and man pages are viewd in one of (usually) 8 categories in *IX systems. Sections 1, 2, 3, ... Sections 1, 5, 7, and 8 are often useful to non-programmers (IIRC). Anyway, a command like man 1 intro will offer some small beginning clues to the labrynth facing you. Ditto for section 5,... Section 2,3,4 (sometimes) may also be interesting, but these are really more for programmers. -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
