Everything can be done via menus and prompted commands.
Commands are built up of three and four letter 'pieces' - for instance, to work with the system activity, you would use the command "WRKSYSACT".
Commands can be prompted; to see the available options for a command, type it in and hit F4 instead of enter. That will show you the most common options used - to get a complete list, after prompting, hit F10 (or F9).
Menus are very useful tools on the '400 - you can either go directly to most menus by using the "GO" command with the subject you want to see prefixed with CMD, for example, to see the menu of commands relating to files, type "GO CMDFILE" and hit enter. To go to the top of the system menu hierarchy, press F16 on a command line.
The programming development manager environment (STRPDM - Start Programming Development Manager) is very useful; so is DFU (STRDFU - Start Data File Utility).
If you are editing source files with the SEU (STRSEU - Start Source Entry Utility - hit F4 with this one, though) or through the SEU via PDM, remember that you can prompt from within SEU - that means you can prompt commands being scripted in CL, or for elements of RPG.
Help can be accessed on most options by pressing F1...

How's that? Ring any bells?

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
