ADDS Mentor 2000 - A little more success/info

Hi Guys, Found a couple of docs on the net which proved useful. One "A guide to the pick operating system" - a very brief summary of the system, and gives a few commands... 2nd was a "hackers guide", which gave a list of common accounts ... So I tried them on my system, and here is what I found: COLDSTART SUPPORT - These exist, but have unknown passwords ACC BLOCK-CONVERT SYSTEM-ERRORS - These exist, have no passwords, and drop you into a '>' prompt, however it appears to have NO commands. No matter what I try, I get: ERRMSG [ERRMSG] 3 ERRMSG - As above, except that the message I get is: [3] What was that? -- Now to the more interesting ones -- BACKUP - Exists, no password, launches a tape backup menu. It appears that I can do a backup of the system to tape from here. GAMES - Exists, no password, launches a menu of games you can play (there's quite a few).With the option "Press NL to exit" Hitting return (blank line) drops you to the '>' prompt, however this appears to be a fully functional TCL shell. You can do WHO, WHAT, WHERE etc. I found LISTVERBS and it shows 147 commands. Haven't tried, but looks like I can format and manipulate tapes from here. Also looks like I've got BASIC, and EDITor - there's a COMPILE command, but I have no idea what for... Lots of others. Btw - Hitting BREAK in any of the above accounts once logged in does get you to the '!' debugger - END resumes.
