For Newbies, "RTFM" is usually not a big help. It is hard to locate. The three things I try first are 1) man <command> 2) <command> --h 3) <command> --help If they don't work, I toss the command into goggle ( http://www.google.com/ ) and then do a sub-search on the results (go to bottom of page, search within results) on "FAQ". I can usually get to the homepage of the *nix command that way, and figure out what it is I don't understand. But, I have been a user on *nix for at least 20 years. Just now running my own system on a PC, which is harder than just popping in commands! But then, DOS/WINDOWS and MAC have the same learning curve -- been there, done that. jp To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
