For users who want both integrated software solutions and the freedom to choose their own mix of independent programs, SCO Shell offers the best of both worlds. SCO Shell gives you:
* custom menus for selecting your programs
* an easy-to-use interface for managing files that makes it unnecessary for you to deal directly with operating system utilities,
* a custom work environment, and
* a text editor.

This guide is written for the novice user. Even without any prior computer experience, you should have no trouble understanding it. SCO Shell itself is easy to learn and use. If you do get confused, pressing the key displays help screens appropriate to whatever portion of SCO Shell you are currently using.

You do not have to read the chapters in this guide in sequence, but it is a good idea to start with Chapters 1, 2, and 3: 'Introduction/ "Getting Started with SCO Shell," and "Running Applications under SCO Shell." The later chapters assume that you are familiar with the information in these introductory chapters.
