[comp.unix.questions] Help with elm and rn

huff@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (Steve Huff, University of Kansas, Lawrence) (06/17/91)

I'm a Unix beginner, and am just starting to work with elm and rn.
Could somebody suggest a reference guide for these and other popular
unix commands?  The man command just isn't cutting it for me.
If the docs are online, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.  E-mail is certainly appreciated.

Steve

I just ordered the second edition on "Unix Communication" from the Waite
Group.  I have the first edition and it is a bible on mail, vnews, rn,
uucp, etc.  The new version adds nn and elm, as well as other things.
I highly recommend this book.
