I've got quite used to using 'man' now, to get my head round the *nix command set, and it's sinking in. I've been using Linux since early '99, whereas my OS/400 experience goes back 12 years, but odly enough it's the Linux side that creeps through. I quite often find myself typing the likes of rm instead of dltf, etc, on an OS/400 cmd line but I've not yet done it the other way round.
