I believe that "find" is a separate program that should exist in your PATH for the shell to execute. What OS are you using? You might probably get a port of "find" for your particular OS. > 2. Is there an equivalent to xargs? Same here. They are separate programs. And you have to make them available. > 3. How to I get help on eshell commands?

Is there a mailing list? >From Eshell documentation, (quote) As mentioned above, Eshell comes preinstalled as of Emacs 21. If you're using Emacs 20.4 or later, or XEmacs 21, you can download the most recent version of Eshell from http://www.gci-net.com/users/j/johnw/Emacs/eshell.tar.gz (end-quote) But nothing is mentioned about any mailing lists.
