Advanced Commandline howto wiki document

[Harry Steffens]

Alexandre,
     Thank you for the feedback. Based on you suggestions, I think a another
document will need to be created for BASH scripting. I searched and the wiki
does not currently have a document on BASH scripting.

Thank you again,
Harry
