• COPY Copies files
• CREATE Creates files or directories
• DEASSIGN Removes logical device name assignments
• DELETE Removes files from a volume
• DIR Lists file directories
• DISMOUNT Disassociates a logical disk assignment from a file
• DUMP Prints formatted data dumps of files or devices
• EXAMINE Examines disk structure
• EXIT Exit the shell
• HELP Displays commands help
• INITIALIZE Writes an empty device directory on the specified volume
• MOUNT Assigns a logical disk unit to a file
• PWD Displays the current working drive and directory
• SHELL Executes a system shell command
• SHOW Displays software status
• TYPE Outputs files to the terminal
