However, I don't think it's what you want anyway. I have mione in
front of me. While it is from SUN, it is OS agnostic...it doesn't
differenciate. It addresses approaches to different tech writing
aspects, such as how to arrange callouts, how to index, grammar and
usage, hypenatioon guidelines, typefaces, punctuation, some project
management, etc.

If you are looking for how to format command lines and such, I'd
probably get a good *NIX book and follow the examples.
