Hi Marty.  There are a few tutorials out there, but I haven't seen any 
really good or 'complete' ones online.  (There may be some, but from 
memory I don't remember finding any).

If you're going to use Bash, give the O'Reilly 'Learning the Bash Shell' 
book a shot.  Another one that does cover other shells is called either 
'Unix Shells' or 'Unix Scripting' (don't recall which and it's at 
work..), which was published 2003 IIRC.
