The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

You can really make a mess by entering commands without knowing the
underlying concepts.
Not to the extent you can with, say, Linux.
I routinely sign on to AS/400s with a QSECOFR-equivalent account, and
I've never screwed up anything so badly that it couldn't be unscrewed
(other than maybe once or twice, when I would have also screwed it up
just as badly with a non-privileged account). Because if something's
likely to screw something up irretrievably, OS/400 will either ask for
confirmation, or veto it outright.
By contrast, nobody in his right mind routinely signs on to Linux as
"root," because the wrong command will, without bothering to ask you if
you're sure it's what you really want to do, wipe your hard drive clean
down to the format.
