but would be interested in more.

Thanks
Putty is just a terminal program that lets you access the linux ash shell command line inside the kindle. You need to learn linux shell commands. Ash is similar to sh or bash. A lot of the documentation for those commands works for the kindle too.

Google "might" be your friend, while learning those commands. For some commands, you can add a parameter -h or --help, and they will give you some information.

EDIT: The kindles do not have a "man" command for the busybox utilities such as "rm". Putty is a windows tool, and windows has no "man" command either. Hence, Google...
