Brendhan:
Have you tried "man bash" from a terminal? It's a big file (4513 lines), but 
the answers are probably in there somewhere. If not, there are some 
references at the end that may be of some help. (This isn't meant to be a 
RTFM reply, but I don't do much with bash other than some simple reading and 
editting.)
