Using First-Level (Global Module) Commands 

The first-level commands, displayed after entering SYSGEN, allow you to
activate one of the four configurators (I/O, LOG, MISC, SYSFILE) or or to
keep, show, or clear changes made from the configurators.  In addition,
you can use first-level commands to call the SYSGEN help facility, alter
basegroups, store configuration changes to tape, or exit the SYSGEN
utility.  The following table describes the commands and their actions:
