The apropos command may be even more useful to a newby.  I don't remember 
how long I struggled the first time I wanted to rename a file.  The apropos 
command searches the man and info pages for a key word, and reports the 
relevant entries.

If you're really that new to *NIX, you might not
know about the dominant form of documentation--
man pages. Just type 'man [name of command]' for
basic usage info. And, IARC, the BASH manual is
in /usr/doc or somewhere. Try 'find /usr -name "bash*.html"'
