That worked very well, thank you.  Also if you can't remember a
command you can use apropos.  For example:  apropos nsse
This could keep a person busy for a while.

TAB TAB  for a list of all available commands.

SHIFT  PAGE UP (or PAGE DOWN) to scroll through the list of commands.

man 'command'  for the man page about that command. 

apropos 'partial command name' if you can't remember a specific
command.
