For bash, get a prompt, and when at the beginning of the line hit twice. You'll get a question "Display all X possibilities?" where X depends on how much stuff you have installed. Answer y and you'll get it. Having said that, for learning purposes you'll be much better off with a good Unix book, and reading the manpages for commands you find interesting. Then either use the "SEE ALSO" section for related commands, and/or use apropos(1). -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
