== NAME ==<br />
learn - computer aided instruction about UNIX<br />
<br />
== SYNOPSIS ==<br />
learn [ -directory ] [ subject [ lesson [ speed ] ] ]<br />
<br />
== DESCRIPTION ==<br />
_L_e_a_r_n gives CAI courses and practice in the use of UNIX. To<br />
get started simply type `learn'. The program will ask ques-<br />
tions to find out what you want to do. The questions may be<br />
bypassed by naming a _s_u_b_j_e_c_t, and the last _l_e_s_s_o_n number<br />
that _l_e_a_r_n told you in the previous session. You may also<br />
include a _s_p_e_e_d number that was given with the lesson number<br />
(but without the parentheses that _l_e_a_r_n places around the<br />
speed number). If _l_e_s_s_o_n is `-', _l_e_a_r_n prompts for each<br />
lesson; this is useful for debugging.<br />
<br />
The _s_u_b_j_e_c_t_s presently handled are<br />
<br />
<br />
editor<br />
eqn<br />
files<br />
macros<br />
morefiles<br />
C<br />
<br />
The special command `bye' terminates a _l_e_a_r_n session.<br />
<br />
The -_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y option allows one to exercise a script in a<br />
nonstandard place.<br />
<br />
== FILES ==<br />
/usr/learn and all dependent directories and files<br />
<br />
== BUGS ==<br />
The main strength of _l_e_a_r_n, that it asks the student to use<br />
the real UNIX, also makes possible baffling mistakes. It is<br />
helpful, especially for nonprogrammers, to have a UNIX ini-<br />
tiate near at hand during the first sessions.<br />
<br />
Occasionally lessons are incorrect, sometimes because the<br />
local version of a command operates in a non-standard way.<br />
Such lessons may be skipped, but it takes some sophistica-<br />
tion to recognize the situation.<br />
