JP,

Thanks, this is helpful.

'help if' and 'help test' are two that I certainly could have used
in the past, gives a nice summary.

If you use bash, don't forget 'help' which gives you help on internal bash commands.  I suspect other shells are similar.

For example, 'man cd' will either give you the entire bash man page (not helpful in this case) or "No manual entry for cd."
