No, simpler. Just play around with some Bourne-like shell
(i.e. not csh, which is harmful :-)) and find out, what happens
if you try different things. The only nontrivial thing I had
to learn was to know when 'a b c' was one value (three letters
and two spaces) and when later commands parsed it as three
values. Before trying dangerous commands, prepend them with
'echo' to see what might happen (and replace '>','<','|'
with something harmless, i.e. '.GT.', '.LT.', '.PIPE.').

Bash comes with docs, which can be printed using teX or read
online using emacs (or other tools, if you are into SM and
live without emacs).
A third way (OS-independent) would be to hack somthing
in your favorite language that produces a long boring
DOS .bat or shellscript, and execute that.
