I've found that you can't really go wrong if you turn to an O'Reilly book for help.&nbsp;&nbsp;One that might interest you is their &quot;Learning the Unix Operating System, 4th Edition&quot; (<A HREF="

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lunix4/"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lunix4/</A>).<br><br>Alternativley,

if you want a quick reference take a look at &quot;UNIX in a Nutshell: System V Edition, 3rd Edition&quot; (<A HREF="

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixnut3/"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixnut3/</A>).<br><br>Que

also used to do a &quot;Unix System V Reference&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Quite a weighty tome, and written in a user friendly manner with enough detail to keep the techies happy. <br><br>Hope this helps.

I would agree with AndyBo the OReilly series is fantastic. The QUE series is also informative. <br><br>I would give that a five star recomendation.<br><br>abovebrd

<br>For general reference you can't beat the O'Reilly series, but for korn shell usage and scripting, my favorite is<br><br>KornShell Programming Tutorial<br>by Barry Rosenberg<br>ISBN 0-2-1-56324-X<br>Addison-Wesley Publishing Company<br><br>
