Well it's not that manpages are hard to follow or out of date, as that to know how to use find (for example), first you have to know that the utility you want to use is find, and that find does something like what you want to do. This doesn't need to be an exhaustive reference for every utility, I think, but it should touch on each of the major features, and explain the flexibility of whatever tool is at hand. Toby
