PREFACE




The Time Shared Basic System OPERATOR'S GUIDE is the operating
text for the HP2000A.  This is not a user's guide or a refer-
ence text for the Time Shared Basic Language.  The OPERATOR'S
GUIDE contains information necessary to management and control
of an HP Time Shared BASIC System.

This edition of the OPERATOR'S GUIDE has been reformatted for
easier reading; some material has been expanded and clarified.
The Introduction presents the software and hardware elements.
The system operator is described in Section I, ID commands in
Sectio II, disc directory commands in Section III, hardware
commands in Section IV, miscellaneous commands in Section V,
logging in Section VI, the system library in Section VII and
loading the system in Section VIII.

A comment card is provided at the back of this text for your
convenience.  If it is missing, you may send any comments to
the address on the title page.
