I found the sh(1) manual page well worth reading in printed form.

It's just important to read through it patiently.  By the time you get
to Builtin Commands, it should all "just fall into place".

A second reading, at a faster pace, should take care of the bit that
haven't settled.

It's not very useful as a quick reference unless you're already familiar
with the structure.

But it's the only "book" I've read on shell scripting and consider
myself a good shell programmer.  If you are going to read it, I
_highly_ recommend a printed copy.  I find paper encourages me to read
properly, instead of flitting around. :-)

Caio,
Sheldon.
