stu, thanks for the idea "man man" that was helpful and really gives me a good idea of where to go when i need to look up something. and craig, i did try the ls -l /usr/share/doc that is too complicated for me! ps; husband knows my geekyness since i built him his own linux computer last year, but he stopped using it after a few months, and just uses his m$ machine that i did at the same time. he's just too busy to learn a new op sys navigation and he's still remembering fortran.... :)) linux is just so great, there is always something new to learn.
