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. -- Gordon A.
