Problem is I don't know anything about this operating system. I just know how to do a 'CD' and a 'LS'. So my question for you is this "How do I get to the online manpages I installed?" I don't know how to find or view them. Will they tell me enough to understand how to use UNIX? If not is there anyone place on INTERNET which I can get documents to help learn UNIX? Otherwise is there a book I can purchase at a book store that you would recommend? I've got thiss operating system and I don't even know what to do with it? Please help. Scott Sumner,
