There is a good UNIX beginners manual "The CONVEX Unix Primer", that has helped some of our new employees learn the basics of 4.2 BSD, even though we don't have any Convex computers. It starts at the beginning (logging on) and gets you through those first few painful days ("I want to search for a word in all these files. Huh? Grep? Huh?"). ;-) There sometimes exists the unformatted unix articles that make up the supplimentary documents in /usr/doc/*. The unformatted online manual pages are usually stored in /usr/man/man?/*.? if they're available at all. They might be printed with nroff or troff. See your system administrator. Oh, are YOU the system administrator? Oh well. It'd probably be easier, faster, and cheaper to buy something at a book store. Why not get UNIX/World magazine and poke through the ads.
