The need for *ME* to write a script was a BASIC assumption to my asking
about commands relevant to my task.

I was referring to Linux man pages in general. I've ~10 man pages of
commands mentioned in this thread -- none with useful examples. For a
specific command I routinely do a web search with the keywords
"examples" &/or "tutorial".
Though I don't refer to myself as a programmer I've written "scripts"
[using term loosely]:
in the early 60's using CORC/CUPL {Cornell's predecessor to BASIC}
in the mid 70's using DEC's TECO {not just an editor ;}
later dBASEII and Paradox
am now exploring Tcl/Tk
