If you don't have a manual set, get UNIX for dummies.
Once you get into the system you use "man command".
The online manual has the syntax. Ed Fair

thanks Ed !!

how about a way to view the unix box like being in front of the console, VIA windows XP or windows 2000 on a remote laptop ??

Remote serial or remote IP?
I use a laptop regularly to access machines I support, but since it is a old,old 386 I use serial with external modem.
From my browser I telnet across into a testbed machine, or I did until I crippled the testbed last week. Ed Fair

There are a number of good Unix emulation programs for windows...some of the better ones are:

Exceed
TUN

Out of all the ones I have used, I liked those two the best, with Exceed being my favorite since it more accurately emulates what Unix is really like, though I forget how much Exceed costs. I know that TUN is up there around $300 or so for one license.

Others which do not cost as much:

Anzio Lite
HostAccess
Rumba (Not sure on this ones cost.)
Tera Term

These were all okay, out of these four I would choose Rumba since it offered the best solution for multiple platforms, unix, mainframes, etc..although Rumba does require a lot of overhead from your PC.
