Still you need at least some commands in your brain to start. That is where a book or a class help by giving you a command and its use, then use it in an example, then get you to useit. Next command is given and then used on top of first in a structured way that only uses the previous know comma

Fish looks interesting - I might give it a whirl. But I wasn't thinking of something as extravigantly coded as that. And the trouble with fish is that it isn't bash - which is the default Linux shell. My idea is more aimed at people wanting to first learn how to use the bash shell - like
