MANUAL PAGES: You can use the man command to view the manual pages for most executables/commands. For example, parter> man matlab parter> man gcc For other commands, you can type the option "-help" or "--help" to get succinct instructions, e.g., parter> montage -help parter> scp --help If you are fishing for a command, you can try man -k, e.g., parter> man -k plotting parter> man -k 'text editor' parter> man -k fortran | more
