Steve,
 
If you are dialing into an MPE machine and have reached the MPE prompt, you
simply need to enter the command
 
        help
 
to get information about the actions available to you at the command line.
The MPE Command Interpreter (CI) is very powerful, but requires some
familiarity.
 
If you are on a 4.5 or later MPE system, you can access the Posix shell (a
variant of k-shell and bourne-shell) by entering
 
        run sh.hpbin.sys; info="-L"
 
To gain access to the unix command interface.
