Give'em xargs if you're gonna give them |. xargs is the most useful command ever.

bash intro

Re the Bash section (since still evaluating it): really, referring explicitly back to "/home/lab* /home/class*" in the first example would round off the hours nicely (obviously). But more than the first two pars touching briefly on Bash as one of several ways of doing what shells do, I do agree, might start to be a bit more puzzling than otherwise under the circumstances.

So. The whole time circles back to the beginning, with the globbing example. Why not do another loop, with man? Mentioning in the "man" section that many of the commands for less work with it, would lay the groundwork there for actually introducing a few here (/, ?, g, and G, for instance).
