Great.  Any hints regarding HOW to coax it into working?

Specifically, I would like to point it to my DNS machine
(which is NOT the hp3000).  I would assume this is a good
first step.  Then, once nslookup has a DNS handy, I would
assume I can start asking it questions about name resolutions.

I am accustomed to the easy-to-use Internet tools on the Mac,
but after reading Mark's post I became curious about using
the tools on the hp3000.

My first try involved asking nslookup for help.  Perhaps I
gave up too soon after just two attempts.  At least, it
understood "exit":

:/BIND/PUB/bin/nslookup
Default Server:  dev918
Address:  0.0.0.0

>  help
Unknown terminal "".

>  ?
Unknown terminal "".

>  exit


My second try involved man:

:sh.hpbin.sys
$ man nslookup
No manual entry for "nslookup".
$

What am I missing?  As one of my physics professors used to say,
"one must know everything before one is able to do anything".
Fortunately, Mark knows everything Posix on the hp3000.

Thanks,
