Hallo David,

there exists a manual page for ash, that lists most of the features
available in ash. Some more bash-ish features are available in newer
versions of Busybox ash too, but that manual page is at least a good
starting point for scripting in ash. The ash manual page is widely
available, just do Google "ash manpage" or something similar.
