The help command shows you internal bash commands and not all the
commands available to you.

A possibility is to use the apropos command, for example:

	apropos delete

which will show you all the commands whose man pages have the word
delete in them. Unfortunately, the term used for deleting a file in
Linux is 'remove' so the above doesn't help much.

	apropos remove

will show the rm command amongst many others.

I think this is a weak part of Linux personally, especially the command
line stuff. If you don't know the command it is quite difficult to find
it out.

GUI interfaces are, of course, much more intuitive.

Regards,
Tony.
