I know this will sound terribly stupid but I've a good beginners tip:
open up two rio windows (nice and large). in one, `lc /bin`. in the
other, go through each binary in bin you listed and execute. If
something isn't obvious, then man that binary. if there is no man page,
go to /sys/src/cmd and find the source and read it.
After that, then have a look in /rc/bin as well.
Just poke around. Assume that you will probably hose your system a few
times in the process. In fact, if you haven't hosed your system yet,
you aren't climbing up the learning curve.
