beginner, system questions



I have an NEC powermate 486 sx-25i , 4mb ram, 120mb hd and floppy drive
only.
I use the internet at the local public library.
I have done a bare minimum install of 8 floppies by internet ftp.

What commands do you use to view the manual and information pages that
come with the system install.
At the moment I am doing a,  gunzip -c pathname/filename.gz  for each
page.
I tried the,  man  command but the system doesn't recognize it.

How do you get a listing of all the commands available on the system.

Does the system colorize the difference in status of things.
How do you activate this permanently.
Is there some sort of downloadable referance or a book that explains all
the system color options, more clearly and helps you understand how to
enable or set these up.

I don't know what mouse driver to install.

What is a good word processor and what are some games that will run on
the present system.
Can you use a mouse with these if the correct mouse driver is installed,
or what else is required.

How do you get the computer to run a program, after it is installed.
