[Mailman-Users] Using the command line (was Re: List all users on one page)

[Terri Oda]

There are quite a variety of tutorials, all of which are rather out of 
scope for this list.  Search for "command line tutorial" or somesuch in 
google and you'll find plenty of links.

Here's one for linux: http://www.linuxcommand.org/
And here's for windows: 
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial76.html

(I haven't used either of those, since I learned the command line 
several decades ago, but at a glance they look reasonable.)

If those don't suit, many local libraries and colleges can introduce you 
to someone who can do one-on-one training, assuming you're willing to 
pay for an hour of someone's time.
