Edited text of question.
SCO maintains an on-line UNIX documentation web site at
http://doc.sco.com

Although the documentation is intended
to thoroughly cover SCO OpenServer,
UnixWare and other SCO products, the
Sun UNIX platforms are quite similar
in that they are based on UNIX System V
Chaos50,

     If you stil have the Solaris 2.6 (aka Sun OS 5.6) you should have the AnswerBook CD.  You can install it on your server and voila, you have an on-line documentation.  Just point you browser to http://localhost:8888 (I believe the default is!).

    The second option that you could try is to point your browser to http://docs.sun.com .

    If you cannot get to any of these two options, try "man <command you are looking for>".  But you need a shell access to the server.  If you inscalled the Manual Page, then you should have the text based on-line help tool.  In some manual pages, there are some sample usage.

Hope this helps.

Use the man pages.
To learn how to use the man pages - from the comman line prompt do:
man man
Best online resource for all things Unix is:
