NAME
  learn - Provides computer-aided instruction for the C shell

SYNOPSIS
  learn [-directory] [subject] [lesson]

  The learn command provides computer-aided instruction courses and practice
  in the use of Tru64 UNIX.

OPTIONS
  -directory
      Allows you to exercise a script in a nonstandard place.

DESCRIPTION
  To get started, enter learn; if this is the first time that you are
  invoking the learn command, you are guided through a series of questions to
  determine what type of instruction you want to receive.

  If you have used learn before and left your last session without completing
  a subject, the program uses information in $HOME/.learnrc to start you up
  in the same place you left off.

  To bypass questions, enter a subject or lesson.  In order to enter a
  lesson, you must know the lesson number that you received in a previous
  learn command session. If you do not know the lesson number, enter the
  lesson number as a subject.  The learn command searches for the first
  lesson containing the subject you specified. If the lesson is a - (dash),
  learn prompts for each lesson; this is useful for debugging.

  You can specify the following subjects:

       files
       editor
       vi
       morefiles
       macros
       eqn
       C

SUBCOMMANDS
  There are a few special commands.  The bye command terminates a learn
  session, and the where command tells you of your progress (where m tells
  you more.) The again command redisplays the text of the lesson and again
  lesson lets you review lesson. The hint command prints the last part of the
  lesson script used to evaluate a response, while hint m prints the entire
  lesson script.  This is useful for debugging lessons and might possibly
  give you an idea about what is expected.

EXAMPLES
  To take the online lesson about files, enter:

       learn files

  You are then prompted for further input.

FILES
  /var/tmp/pl**
      Playpen directories.

  $HOME/.learnrc
      Start-up information.
