An account is a user’s place on the mvBase system. It controls a user’s computing environment by providing access to system resources and files. This account can be customized for the needs of a particular user or application such that the collection of files and processors available might differ from one account to the next.
A user must know the name of the account, and usually a password, in order to log on to the account. Upon logging on, the user usually communicates with the system using the Terminal Control Language (TCL). The TCL processor interprets commands entered at the user’s terminal and initiates processing by other system processors, such as the Editor, INFO/ACCESS and mvBASIC.
The first major topic of this section discusses logging on and off of the system, entering a few basic commands, and examining the contents of a user account and a sample file. This section concludes with a comprehensive list of user account commands. This topic is titled User Account Command Reference.
