Hi, that slackware book on the sight is very excelent. I always go there first. I suggest reading up while you're there on the use of the man. Nothing like a good man page to keep you enthrolled, grin. Also, for very quicky help, the --h command is not bad. Example, to get a list of possible arguments for use with the lynx browser command, type something like man lynx for the man page, or lynx --h for brief help. My syntax could be a bit rusty, I'm just getting back into it now. Erik ----
