A pocket guide to UNIX should contain (but not be limited to):

	A list of each unix command with its possible arguments

	A list of each Unix function and its arguments, including
		a summary of printf/scanf formats.

	For editors and other interactive tools, a summary of
		frequently used commands (if not all).

	A summary of nroff/troff/tbl (et al) constructions.

	A summary of `awk' (as this is fairly short anyway).

	For shells, their commands and (for Csh) special variables.

	(badly needed) A SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES used by
		various Unix programs.

If you have space, it would be nice to have syntax summaries of C,
a list of files in /usr/include and /usr/include/sys.

This is all I could think of right now.
