| PREFACE: What this guide is about. |
| This was written to help Hackers learn to basics of how to function on an |
| IBM VM/370. Not as a guide on how to get in, but on how to use it one |
| you have gotten in. |
| Comments on this are welcome at RIPCO 312-528-5020. |
| Note: To VM/370 Hackers, feel free to add to this file, just give myself |
| & Lunatic Labs credit for our parts. |

|
|
| PART 1: Logging in & out |
| When you connect to a VM/370 system hit RETURN till you see: |
|
|
| VM/370 |
| ! |
|
|
| To logon you type: |
| logon userid ('logon' may be abbreviated to 'l') |
| If you enter an invalid userid, It will respond with a message: |
| 'userid not in cp directory'. |
| If it is valid you with get: |
| ENTER PASSWORD: |
| Enter your password, then your in, hopefully.... |
|
|
| Logging Out: |
| Type: |
| log |
|
|
| PART 2: Loading CMS & Getting set up |
| When you logon, if you do not see the message 'VM/SP CMS - (date) (time) |
| you will need to load 'CMS' (CMS in a command interpreter). |
| Type: |
| cp ipl cms |
| You should then see something like this: |
| R; T=0.01/0.01 08:05:50 |
|
|
| Now you will be able to use both CP & CMS commands... |
| Some system my think you are using an IBM 3270 Terminal, if you can |
| emulate a 3270 (for example with Crosstalk) do so, if not type: |
| set terminal typewriter or set terminal dumb |
|
|
| PART 3: Files |
| You can list your files by typing: |
| filelist |
|
|
| Wildcards can be used, so: |
| filelist t* |
| list all files beginning with a 't'. |
| Filenames are made up of a FILENAME and FILETYPE |
|
|
| You can list a file by typing: |
| listfile filename filetype |
|
|
| Other file commands are: copyfile, erase, and rename, they all work with |
| FILENAME FILETYPE. |
|
|
| PART 4: Editing your files |
| I'm going to keep this down to the basics and only discuss one editor |
| XEDIT. To use XEDIT type: |
| xedit filename filetype |
| Once in XEDIT, enter the command 'input' to enter text, hit a RETURN on |
| a blank line to return to command mode, then enter the command 'FILE' to |
| save your file. |
|
|
| PART 5: Communicating with others on the system |
| Sending & receiving 'NOTES': |
| To send a 'NOTE' to another user type: |
| note userid |
|
|
| You will then be in the XEDIT subsystem, see PART 4. |
| Once you are done writing your NOTE, save the file and type: |
| send note |
|
|
| This will send the NOTE to userid. |
| You can also use the SEND command to send other files by typing: |
| send filename filetype userid. |
|
|
| Sending messages: |
| You can use the TELL command to communicate with a user who is current |
| logged on, type: |
| tell userid Help me! |
|
|
| PART 6: Getting Help |
| Type: |
| help |
|
|
| That's it, good luck. |
