Thanks, I've also (finally ) found the user handbook
and faq in the installation.  Why is it buried under
/usr/share/doc/en/books/ without a complementary
symbolic link to a user's home directory?  Also needed
is a hint for newbies to try 'lynx index.html' once
they get to this buried documentation.

Now I can use two terminals AltF1, AltF2 to view the
docs and try things out...

I had been using 2 machines, one just to read the
handbook!
