About the Utilities menu

This menu contains items that give you quick access to information about some of the general purpose utilities that are provided as standard by UNIX.

Knowing about a utility, what it does and how it can be combined with other utilities enables you to construct your own utilities for a specific task. It introduces you to utilities for:

   - assisting program development
   - editing text
   - manipulating information
   - communicating with other users

If you need to manipulate information held in files you should look at the items in this menu.
