  Some documentation is available as simple text files in the "/share/b/pub" 
  directory on each EECS Instructional system.  If you are logged into an 
  account on an Instructional system, you can access these files with the 
  command "more", such as

  more /share/b/pub/email.help

  http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/software.

  These may be easier to access via http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu.
