Help with computing in the Department of Physics,
University of California, San Diego
We provide several different ways to get help. This one, the
"help" command, is organized by topic and aimed mainly at begin-
ning users of Unix. The 26-page Introduction to UNIX constitutes
a more sequential guide, while the manual pages provide complete
documentation for most commands available on the system.
Select one of the topics below. You may abbreviate any topic you
select, so long as the abbreviation is unambiguous. At the >
prompt, you may use / to return to this top level, .. or carriage
return to go up one level, . or ? to repeat the current level
(only if it had subtopics), or exit, quit, or control-D to leave
help.
Beginners may wish to start with the Introduction. [Some topics
have still not been filled in.]
