Logging Into Other Accounts
Once you're logged on to the computer, as described on page 5-3, you can use LOG to switch to a
different account. You don't need to enter your user name again, just the account you want. For example:
LOG [36,14]
ENTER
If the account has a password assigned, you are asked for the password before you transfer to the account.
The account number list for each device on your system is separate, so you may have duplicate account
numbers on different disks. Therefore, to completely specify what account you want, you may need to
enter both the device and account number. For example:
LOG DSK0:[7,12]
ENTER
You only have to enter the device name if the same account exists on more than one device, or if it is on
a device with a different three-letter name than the one you’re currently logged on to. If the account you
enter does not exist, you see a message on your screen indicating you've typed an invalid account
number.
For more details about the LOG command, see the AMOS System Commands Reference Manual.
Adding New Accounts
There is no specific number of accounts you must have; you can add as many as you want. When your
computer is new, the only accounts may be the ones the system software and application are stored in.
You may want to add more accounts as your business grows. To do so, use the SYSACT command,
following these steps:
1. If you want to see a list of the disk devices on your computer, type:
SYSTAT
ENTER
The end of the display lists the available disk devices. Decide what device to add the accounts to.
2. Log into account [1,2] on any disk device (for example, DSK0:). Type:
LOG DSK0:[1,2]
ENTER
If you weren't already logged in, you'll need to enter your user name. If there's a password for
this account, you'll be asked for it.
3. Type SYSACT followed by the name of the device you want to add the accounts to. For example:
SYSACT DSK1:
ENTER
4. SYSACT responds with its prompt symbol, an asterisk. To list the things SYSACT can do, type:
*H
ENTER
5. From the list that displays, you can select different functions. You want to add a new account, so
type A and the account number to add and press
ENTER
. For example:
*A 100,5
ENTER
