I disagree.  The online documentation that I have consists of man_pages,
USER_GUIDE, net_man and elle_man (as I recall...I don't have it in front
of me, but that's pretty close).  There are several things not in there.
So I still maintain that the book plus on-line documentation does NOT give
a new user complete information.

Of course, the problem with pointing something like this out is that someone,
somewhere, is going to say 'if you don't like it, use ms-dos and quit your
complaining!".  Hey, I LIKE IT!  I'd just like to know (for example) what
the -i parameter does on a cc call, rather than doing it on blind faith.
