at least you may find some .guide docs at aminet (http://aminet.net/tree.php?path=docs)

PDF versions of the Workbench and DOS manual are included in OS3.5 and 3.9.

If you haven't got those, typing any command folowed by a question mark (?) will at least give you the command template so you know what parameters it accepts.

This (http://aminet.net/package.php?package=util/wb/Help.lha) help-system is rather nice help-system with detailed info and examples for all commands. When installed you just type in 'help dir' to get info about the 'dir' command for example.

You actually don't need to install it to be able to read the docs as the info for each command can be found in the directory 'Help/locale/help/english/sys/' in the archive.
