no, but i have seen the printed manuals for ver V unix, as much as most
people could lift.  one of the neat things about unix (and many systems
with an underlying command line, or more accurately an overlying
graphical interface, since unix started on wonderful text terminal) is
that every program becomes a new command, and can be treated as such. 
unix will let an advanced user do all kinds of insanely clever and
tricky things just from the command line, it's easy to make a program
run with input from a file, dump that into another file or as input to
another program, and so on until you get dizzy and the data has gone
everywhere.  it's cool, i'm looking forward to being a *nix geek, it was
way cool when i played with it in 91 and 92 (in 91 in an assembly
language class, i actually like assembly language on a good processor,
the other time was just a little playing in my spare time while i was
taking other classes so i didn't get to play with it much).  i can't
tell you how thrilled i am that apple finally got on the *nix wagon, and
open source is just too cool, to everyone except microsoft that is!!

"Promise me, promise me this day, promise me now..." he asked.  "Even as
they strike you down, you will remember: humanity is not our enemy.  The
only thing worthy of you is compassion...Hatred will never let you face
the beast in human beings.  One day, when you face the beast alone, with
your courage intact, your eyes kind...out of your smile will bloom a
flower.  and...on the long, rough road, the sun and the moon will
continue to shine."  Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk
