Checks the spelling of the words in the standard input by default, checks words in "filename" if a name is supplied on the command line. If a word is misspelled it is printed to stdout ( usually the screen ).
 
t
trn
Threaded, full page network news reader. Quicker than vn.
tin
Threaded, full page network news reader. Easier to use than trn.
 
v
vi {filename}
Runs the screen oriented text editor named "vi". If a filename is specified, you will be editing that file. Type "[ESC]:q!" to exit without making any changes.
vn
Runs the screen oriented network news program. Old and slow - maybe try "trn" or "tin".
w
whereis {command}
Reports the directory in which the {command} binary redides.
which {command}
Reports the directory from which the {command} would be run if it was given as a command line argument.
who
Shows who is currently logged on the system. The "w" command does the same thing, but gives slightly different info.
write loginname
Send a message to another user. Each line will be sent to the other person as you hit the carriage-return. Press <CTRL>-D to end the message. Write won"t work if the other user has typed "mesg n"..
