The source code as they revised it is available on my anonymous ftp server at andrsn.stanford.edu. Kernighan's purpose in creating the program was, according to those files, to provide direct interaction with the unix system. From the little I've used it, "learn" seems to be a systematic and orderly way to learn unix basics from a user point of view, and it might be worthwhile to provide such a utility. Annelise
