These are commands you may find useful at a unix prompt:

pico FILENAME - This loads the pico editor, the same editor used in pine.
	        If FILENAME is a new file name, the editor will be empty.
		If FILENAME is an existing filename, you can edit the 
		displayed file.

ls            - Display the file names of the current directory.
ls -l         - Long output format for the ls command.

cat FILENAME  - Displays FILENAME without pauses.  

mv FILENAME NEWNAME - Renames FILENAME to NEWNAME.

cp FILENAME NEWNAME - Copies FILENAME and calls the copy NEWNAME.

more FILENAME - Displays FILENAME one screen at a time.  Press space bar
	        for next screen.

finger user@address - Diplays account information for user@address.
		      Try finger YourFirstName_YourLastName@umich.edu.
		      Also try finger YourUniqname@login.itd.umich.edu.
		      Get the picture?  

pwd - Displays the name of your current directory.

cd DIRNAME - Moves you to a different directory, DIRNAME. 

cd ~ - Returns you to your home directory.

cd .. - Moves up one directory in the heirarchy.  Returns to parent
	directory.

man COMMANDNAME - Displays the online manual entry for COMMANDNAME.

man -k KEYWORD - Finds all manaul entries with a particular keyword.
		 Example: man -k print will display a list of 
		 all commands relevant to print.  You may find manual
	         entries to be too technical.

messages with ease.  While composing the body of a message, type Ctrl-R to

email.
