    Finding man, cold from a prompt, is hard. If you type help, even today, you might get the shell one which doesn't take you there. Ditto info.

      Oops, looks like Bash at least accounted for this case. Really, I think you want to route new user to "man intro" first, if they just asked for help. $ help GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) These shell commands are defined internally. Type `help' to see this list. Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'. Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general. Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list.
