                                 BASIC VM COMMANDS

The UNIX, VM, VM operating systems are being discussed in this workshop
although many participants are using other systems.  This first
week may or may not be of interest to that group.  Some may be able
to follow along and relate the VM commands to there own system.
Here for example are the related commands of three operating
systems:

      UNIX         DOS          VM             VM
      ls           dir          directory       filelist
      cat          type         type            type
      more         more         type /page      type
      mv           rename       rename          rename
      cp           copy         copy            copy
      rm           delete       delete          erase
      chmod        attrib       set protection

VM is not case sensitive.  Unlike DOS, which works in both upper and
lower cases, LS is not considered a command and you will receive an
error message to that effect.  Case is an important thing to keep
in mind, especially as we go to transfer files.  The files READ.me,
READ.ME, and Read.me are consider three unique files and if these
files were on a ftp site you would need to get all three of the
files.


FILELIST
"filelist" is the VM command to list your files, the default being the
current minidisk.

--------------------

The filelist command has many options.  Typing "filelist * * o" will
provide a list that gives information about the files on a different
minidisk.

  COMMANDS FILELIST       Brief Help Information        line  1 of  10

 The FILELIST command lets you display a list of the files on any accessed
 minidisk or SFS directory.

 FORMAT:  FILEList (options

 EXAMPLE: To display a list of all files on your
          minidisk or directory accessed as A enter:
                      filel









 PF1= All      2= Top      3= Quit     4= Return     5= Clocate   6= ?

--------------------

TYPE
To read a file you can use the VM command "type".  Typing "type filename
filetype filemode" will print the file on the computer screen stopping
when the screen is full. Pressing the "clear key" moves forward a full screen.
The VM command "type filename filetype filemode" prints out the entire
contents of the file on the computer monitor.  Typing "help type" gives
you detailed on-line information.

  COMMANDS TYPE       Brief Help Information        line  1 of  9

 The TYPE command lets you display all or part of a file at the terminal.

 FORMAT:  Type filename filetype (options

 EXAMPLE: If you want to display BOOK SCRIPT A1, then enter:

                         t book script










 PF1= All      2= Top      3= Quit     4= Return     5= Clocate   6= ?

____________________

COPY
The VM command "copy" copies a file from one file to another.  It
leaves the original file as is and gives you two copies of the
original file.  To ease the sending of files for this workshop I used
the copy command to shorten the original file names.

--------------------

Ready;
copy session 1a-vm a 1a vm a

--------------------

I now had two identical files named "session 1a-vm" and "1a vm " on my
"a" minidisk. The shorter filename ease the sending to the workshop group.

ERASE
The VM command "erase" removes or erase a file.  Use with caution
because a file cannot be recovered without the help of the systems
administrator.
