2. Find information in an installed Slint system

Documentation for specific packages is generally provided in
/usr/doc/<package name>-<version>

For instance to check the documentation provided with speech dispatcher
just type: ls /usr/doc/speech-dispatcher*
then to consult it, use a file browser or just
cd /usr/doc/speech-dispatcher*

Some tips:

To display the Slint documentation after Slint installation type:
slint-doc

To know which binaries (programs) are provided by a package type

grep bin/ /var/log/<package name>*
For instance:
grep bin/ /var/log/packages/speech-dispatcher*
usr/bin/
usr/bin/spd-conf
usr/bin/spd-list
usr/bin/spd-say
usr/bin/spdsend
usr/bin/speech-dispatcher

Similarly,to know which man pages are provided by speech-dispatcher
grep man[[:digit:]]/. /var/log/packages/speech-dispatcher*
usr/man/man1/spd-conf.1.gz
usr/man/man1/spd-say.1.gz
usr/man/man1/speech-dispatcher.1.gz

Last, most programs have a --help option.
For instance you can try:
spd-say --help
