Gene wtote> "man.pages", NDI. There are man pages on almost anything in the *nix world,
and to access one of them, like the man page for 'ls', one does, from an open shell/terminal "man ls". 'man' is the reader, and 'ls' means its to find and display the help file for the 'ls' command. Some commands may require root access to read them just like running the command itself. There are also 'info' files which are similar, although to me 'info' is busted, but 'pinfo' seems to work just fine.

Hi Gene The above info is really very useful, I appreciate every ones input. Thank you Gene you asked the question: Why use windows when there is a door? I've found an answer - 'sometimes a door can be ajar' (a jar) :-) Keep smiling Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
