[Gllug] Awk Sed

[Jim Bailey]

hi Harry,

the info pages are a better bet very similar to man pages but with 
hyperlinks and more detail; type info info at the command line for some 
tutorials and help on how to use them, or simply type info and the 
application name if you want to live dangerously.

As for sed or awk I haven't got a clue but I would bet sed would be 
sufficient.

Peace Jim
