Getting Started
You can assign passwords to disk accounts and user names. If the account or user name you
enter has a password, AMOS asks you for the password before logging you in.
Once you're logged on to the system, you can use LOG to switch to a different account. You don't need
to enter your user name again, just the account you want. For example:
LOG [36,14]
If the account has a password assigned, you are asked for the password before you transfer to the
account.
The account number list for each device on your system is separate, so you may have duplicate account
numbers on different disks. Therefore, to completely specify what account you want, you may need to
enter both the device and account number. For example:
LOG DSK0:[7,12]
You only have to enter the device name if the same account exists on more than one device. If the
account you enter does not exist, you see a message on your screen indicating you've typed an invalid
account number.
For more details about the LOG command, see the System Commands Reference Manual. For
information about user names, see the System Operator's Guide.

THE TERMINAL KEYBOARD

The first step in communicating with AMOS is to be able to type your instructions on the terminal
keyboard. The keyboard is very similar to a standard typewriter's, but it has a few extra keys with
special functions.
Take a moment to look at your keyboard so you can easily locate these keys later:
