[sf-lug] Learning Bourne Scripting

[jim]

    I'm not sure how it compares: I've got a BASH 
shell scripting tutorial more or less done but 
not finished (most of the info's there, but it 
could be improved with some diagrams and better 
explanations here and there. 
http://www.systemateka.com/BashShScr.html 
    One of its merits is that it covers pretty 
much all of the essential shell scripting stuff 
in a fairly brief form. I'd be glad for criticism, 
sarcasm, anything that might improve it.
