On-Line Help
This page is provided by systems staff for on-line help documentation. Information will be modified periodically, and should remain more up-to-date than corresponding paper documentation. Help topics are listed below. Many of the features and commands described on these pages are common to all UNIX shells, but since the C-shell is the one primarily used in the department, we do not distinguish between commands in UNIX and commands peculiar to the C-shell.
