I previously listed some info on scripting.  If you just want the 
commands, then  an O'Reilly book (that you have to buy) that
I use a lot is "Linux in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference" by 
Ellen Siever, Stephen Figgins, Robert Love & Arnol Robbins.
It has all the commands, plus a section on SED and one on EMACS, and a 
short section on the Bash Shell.  It's 900 pages, and
worth the $50 that it costs.

Something similar is "Linux in Plain English" by Patrick Volkerding and 
Kevin Reichard from the MIS:Press Slackware Series.
It says on the cover "All commands cross-referenced with DOS 
equivalents."  This was copyright 1997, and cost (then) $20.
I don't know if it's still available.
