You might want to take a look at 'ayuda' it is a (rather outdated) script which runs a user through some menus in order to explain him stuff of his system. 'Ayuda' BTW is 'help' in Spanish. Debian package is available, and some people at laespiral.org are working in a common framework (using a database) which could allow for inclusion of new texts and keep them up to date. Regards Javi
