A good book to try is "UNIX(tm) user's handbook" from Weber Systems, Inc. Staff for $16.95. It's nothing TOO great, but it is really good to get you started. It gets fairly in-depth with most of the commands you will use a lot, and spends a good bit of time talking about the editors. (2 chapters, one on ed & one on vi). I found it fairly comprehensive, and took me a while to "outgrow". ___ ___ ___ _________________________ / \ | | \ | | | / \ | | \___ | |___/ | | | \___ | "Jes cuz um uh Mo-Ron | \ | | \ | | | \ | Don't meen um Stu-Pid" | \___/ | | \ | \_/| \___/ |_________________________| {ucbvax!sun,uunet!portal}!cup.portal.com!sirius BITNET: sirius%cup.portal.com@sun.com
