Have you looked at your documentation folder for bash? You should have a file: /usr/share/doc/bash-3.0/bashref.html which is the bash reference manual which may help. Also the bash home page is: http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/bashtop.html where you can find the FAQ and links to the bash mailing list etc. Regards, Mike Klinke
