Re: qshell documentation, tutorial, rtm, rtfm and that genre

Just to clarify....I

Issuing the LS (or ls) command from QSHELL actually calls the LS program (*PGM) object in library QSHELL behind the scenes.

And like Scott said, you can run any native IBM i programs directly from QSHELL like this for example:

/qsys.lib/somelib.lib/somepgm.pgm

Just to add some confusion to the issue: According to one IBMer I spoke
with (about a nasty CCSID issue with QSHell scripts), QSHELL is a
"UNIX-like" interface built over OS/400. The commands you issue point
to programs in a "QSHELL" library.

PASE is a "real" UNIX-it is actually AIX. It looks similar to QSHELL,
but doesn't have some of the limitations built in to QSHELL. To use
PASE, CALL QP2TERM.

And that's all the information I have on PASE.
