I did.  Published by Network Theory for $29.99.  But I think it would
*really* be interesting to "people" if it taught shell programming as
well as documented the features (though I appreciate the small size,
while still being complete, it sports now).  I think there are a few
people still interested in shell programming.  :)

Maybe some utilities coverage could go with shell programming
tutorial, and the rest with an Administrator's manual.

While I have a personal interest in this, thought I'd mention it
anyway: the Guile reference manual is chugging along now, though it
still has a long way to catch up with all the new goodies in HEAD
... so that's not really an option until Guile 1.8.0 is out.
