I have 22 years experience in IT and have recently been tasked with doing a lot of coding!

I'm surprised (actually, stunned) that somebody with 22 years of IT experience has not dealt with multiple operating systems (I've dealt with VMS, DOS, VM, MVS/XA, NOS/VE, Windows in its various incarnations, Unix in about a half-dozen variants, and one or two others too obscure to remember). Solaris is a one of the Unix derivatives, so it won't have DOS, although somebody who wanted to could probable whip up a BAT file interpreter in a few hours (I'm not that somebody).

I suggest you get a book like Learning the Unix Operating System, Fifth Edition.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
