First I would not use ottstpshell to view or print a file. I use file/ run program and then csh(do not forget to check run external program). Others in the office use sh or ksh.

If you want to see the commands available in ottstpshell just type help at the prompt. At least this starts help for me - I have never really read this help and I am not even sure there is a way to do this in ottstpshell.

if you start a csh you can use more or cat to view a file. Use lp to print a file. You should be able to use man to get help pages on the commands - for example man lp. Either that or google the commands.

As for getting help in ottstpshell I would have you Baan admin contact support for an answer. I really do not know how to get it set up.

Hi,

On the command prompt of ottstpshell, type "?".
This will open help viewer for ottstpshell.

About accessing the Operating System level files from this shell, I do not think it would be possible, since this ottstpshell only controls client processes.

Regards,
Kaustubh

'?' does the same as 'help', so if Atyeo does not get help, it must mean there is no help available/installed at his environment...
