Another useful command is "apropos" which searches (a database of) short
descriptions of system commands for keywords and displays those that match
Eg
apropos director
lists (amongst other things!) commands like mkdir,rmdir,ls,
For the more adventurous, cut down the list to things more likely to be useful
commands:
apropos directory | grep 1
Also try
man intro
man man
info info
man oh man !
