Well, not directly, but you can get all of the commands in your path with
the help of your shell. For bash, get a prompt, and when at the beginning of
the line hit <TAB> twice. You'll get a question "Display all X
possibilities?" where X depends on how much stuff you have
installed. Answer y and you'll get it.

Having said that, for learning purposes you'll be much better off with a
good Unix book, and reading the manpages for commands you find
interesting. Then either use the "SEE ALSO" section for related commands,
and/or use apropos(1).
