No insult is intended, this is a very good introductory book, I had it at my bedside when I was starting out. I don't have it any more and I can't remember the ISBN, sorry. It's yellow:) You should find it in any decent computer bookshop. Please be careful with your capitalisation, it is meaningful. The "UNIX" is fine, it means a commercially licensed version as opposed to an open source version such as Linux (but did you mean this?). But "BASIC" is a language. Capitalising that made your post mean something er.. meaningless. To shut a machine down you use the command "shutdown". With various options. Don't use it until you know what you're doing. Don't use root until you know what you are doing, except on a scratch test machine. Ian
