I would reccommend the book suggested above. It offers a good over view to Unix in OSX if you have no unix background at all. It is a short book that won't take you long to get through.

I recommend getting it on tape, nothing beats, tape playing, "Unix, your roots start here. Chapter 1".

Sounds like you need some basic Unix background first.
Unixes, like Mac OS X, use user selectable programs called shells to provide
command line functionality.
Mac OS X originally defaulted to the tcsh shell, but now defaults to the bash shell.
I personally like O'Reilly books. Give them a shot.
