Actually it did...

From your original mail:
>>So, I tried: /sbin/chkconfig and got the following response:
>>chkconfig version 1.2.23 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc.
>>This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License.
>>usage: chkconfig --list [name]
>> chkconfig --add <name>
>> chkconfig --del <name>
>> chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>)

See the part that says "usage:" that is the beginning of the "how do I use this
tool" information.

without any options it spat out what options you could use...
