Just key POP at the S/36 command line & enter & that will take you to the 
main POP menu ... HELP works a little differently than OS/400 standards.
Forget about F1.  Use the HELP key on your keyboard.
Do not try to scroll from one help screen to the next.
When on a HELP screen, press HELP key to get to the next one.

When on S/36 command line, you might also try keying the word HELP then POP 
or whatever you interested in.

When on S/36 command line, try out various commands.
I seem to remember that F12 took you to a turorial on S/36 commands.

Keying the word HELP then a S/36 command is the same as keying the S/36 
command then pressing the HELP key, which helps you if you do not have a S/36 
keyboard, but does not help you if you are inside something & need to press 
the HELP key.

A command I used a lot was
letter D then the HELP key
or letter DF then the HELP key
because this took me into what going on with users, spool files, JOBQ, 
communications & so forth.

RPG/36 is like RPG/400
OCL/36 is totally alien compared to CL/400
Forget about SQL or UIM or DDS 
unless you have 3rd party stuff that simulates some OS/400 capabilities

POP has a lot in common with the SEU of PDM/400
