What I remember is that it logged you into a timesharing BASIC
environment. I remember that the standard library had a set of
programs that would teach you BASIC, called TUT01 through TUT25. They
were tutorials in the BASIC language. I imagine that this was a
standard software library that shipped with all the HP minis of the
time. I don't recall anything really about the operating environment
beyond that. I only used the HP for a few months before moving over
to the 11/70 and using BASIC-PLUS, but the HP is where I taught myself
to program with those TUTxx programs.

That was me, but I've been informed by my
fellow users from the period
that it was actually a 2000! Sheesh, I feel stupid :-).
Tell me a bit about the system you used, and perhaps I can help.
