Stan,

I checked out www.gnu.org for the following link, but I think
that 'man bash' would give you the same thing.

http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.02/html_chapter/bashref_4.es.html
http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/UNIXhelp/shell/bash_hist.html

Getting into the nitty gritty of bash syntax, and what should
work and doesn't is quite beyond mine and most people's mental
capacity.  Are you sure your _Beginner_ Unix class really wants
to go there too?  Maybe it can be avoided.  But I really don't
know, because I don't know how you've assessed your class or what
topics you have agreed upon--especially with regard to the
level of complexity.

But you could start with:

ls /usr/doc/bash*

/usr/doc/bash-1.14.7:
NEWS  README  RELEASE

/usr/doc/bash2-2.03:
CHANGES  COMPAT  NEWS  NOTES  POSIX.NOTES

/usr/doc/bash2-doc-2.03:
article.ps   bash.html  bashbug.ps    builtins.0   readline.ps
article.txt  bash.ps    bashref.html  builtins.ps
bash.0       bashbug.0  bashref.ps    readline.0


At a first glance, there is a bash script called 'bashbug' if you
wish to fill out and email a bash bug report.  There is even
information about how bash conforms to POSIX standards.

Best Regards,
L.G.
