You might also run catman (on solaris anyway Smilie ) Make sure you have lots of time and some space on the disk for the extra files. Then you can run apropos [keyword] and all the relevent man page subject lines will be displayed. It'll help you when you're not sure of the command. Of course if it's too generic a word, you'll get a whole lot of output Smilie

NAME
whatis - display a one-line summary about a keyword SYNOPSIS
whatis command... DESCRIPTION
whatis looks up a given command and displays the header line from the manual section. You can then run the man(1) command to get more information. If the line starts name(section)... you can do man -ssection name to get the documentation for it. Try whatis ed and then you should do man -s 1 ed to get the manual page for ed(1). whatis is actually just the -f option to the man(1) command. whatis uses the /usr/share/man/windex database. This database is created by catman(1M). If this database does not exist, whatis will fail. FILES
