NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       learn  -  Provides  computer-aided  instruction  for the C
       shell

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       learn [-directory] [subject] [lesson]

       The  learn  command  provides  computer-aided  instruction
       courses and practice in the use of Tru64 UNIX.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Allows you to exercise a script in a nonstandard place.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       To  get  started,  enter  learn; if this is the first time
       that you are invoking the learn command,  you  are  guided
       through  a  series  of questions to determine what type of
       instruction you want to receive.

       If you have used learn before and left your  last  session
       without completing a subject, the program uses information
       in $HOME/.learnrc to start you up in the  same  place  you
       left off.

       To  bypass questions, enter a subject or lesson.  In order
       to enter a lesson, you must know the  lesson  number  that
       you  received  in a previous learn command session. If you
       do not know the lesson number, enter the lesson number  as
       a  subject.  The learn command searches for the first lesson
 containing the subject you specified. If the lesson is
       a  - (dash), learn prompts for each lesson; this is useful
       for debugging.

       You can specify the following subjects:

       files editor vi morefiles macros eqn C

SUBCOMMANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       There are a few special commands.  The bye command  terminates
  a learn session, and the where command tells you of
       your progress (where m tells you more.)  The again command
       redisplays  the  text  of the lesson and again lesson lets
       you review lesson. The hint command prints the  last  part
       of  the  lesson  script used to evaluate a response, while
       hint m prints the entire lesson script.   This  is  useful
       for  debugging lessons and might possibly give you an idea
       about what is expected.
