   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".
