This book is aimed at people new to the UNIX operating system. If you have little or no computer experience, relax. This book will introduce you step-by-step to some of the key features of SCO UNIX System V/386.

If you have used the UNIX operating system before, you can use this book as a refresher or a quick reference guide.

DOS users who want to get started right away may want to turn to Appendix A, "Going from DOS to UNIX' This appendix contains a table of common DOS commands and their UNIX system counterparts.

Each chapter in this book is a self-contained lesson for you to work through at the computer. Each lesson builds on what you have learned before.

Question-and-answer sections often follow examples in this tutorial. These sections give you a little more information about what you have learned, and they tell you what to do if you see an error message. Question-and-answer sections are indicated by Q and A in the margin.

A "Summary" section appears toward the end of every chapter. This section summarizes the commands presented in the chapter and tells you where to look in the SCO UNIX system documentation to find more information.
