This is probably a good point to say that I've just got together an
automaticly updated web site of usefull unix FAQ's and documents - these's
a good bit there at the moment, If anyone has any sugestions for additions 
I'd be very grateful if they mailed me

the URL is http://quatermass.ivision.co.uk/~jasper/stuff.shtml

it includes the:

UNIX_shell_differences_and_how_to_change_your_shell_(Monthly_Posting) 

FAQ - which seems to be what you want ;-)
