"Use this command" answers the question, and doesn't imply that you should know this already. In most cases, when you begin a sentence with the word "simply" you shouldn't. Simply begin your sentence with the second word instead. Revision Changes Path 1.704 +2 -2 doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml
