Virtually all commands understand the <emphasis role="strong">-h</emphasis> (or <emphasis role="strong">--help</emphasis>) option which will produce a short usage description of the command and it's options, then exit back to the command prompt. Type <screen>man -h</screen> or <screen>man --help</screen> to see this in action.

Every command and nearly every application in Linux will have a man (manual) file, so finding them is as simple as typing <command>man command</command> to bring up a longer manual entry for the specified command. For example, <screen>man mv</screen> will bring up the <command>mv</command> (move) manual.

<screen>man intro</screen> is especially useful - it displays the "Introduction to user commands" which is a well-written, fairly brief introduction to the Linux command line.

You might be wondering why the text you've copied from a web page using <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>C</keycap></keycombo> won't paste in with <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>V</keycap></keycombo>, the shell uses a different combination for paste <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Insert</keycap></keycombo>. This can also be done using the mouse, by right-clicking in the terminal and clicking <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the menu.
