I think it would make a good companion document for people using SpeakUp as, if
they're new to UNIX like systems, man and info pages and other shell docs are
pretty obscure and can cause more brain damage than solving problems.
Of course, there are those who will always believe that a command prompt and
man pages are all anyone will need for the rest of their computing life. They
tend to have a tattoo on one arm that says "MOM" and on the other it says,
"bash#."
