One good way to find information about particular programs or commands on Athena is to read the manual pages with the "man" command. Type: man program at your athena% prompt, where program is the name of the command you are curious about. For example, man zwrite tells you how the zwrite command works, what arguments it accepts, and some known bugs. Another good tool is the apropos command. If you type apropos keyword a list of all man pages that contain keyword in their name field will be returned. For example, if you type apropos zwrite You'll get this output: xzwrite (1) - X application to write to another user via Zephyr zwrite (1) - write to another user via Zephyr xzwrite (1) - X application to write to another user via Zephyr You can then use man to view the manual page for the specific command you want. You can also type man man to get more information on how man works.
