Actually I have never used VMS in my life.
But I like SQL and I think in many ways I am thinking of standardized commands which will work on
any structure be it file , processes, directories, etc.
Similar to how /proc etc in some sense.

As an example lets consider the "ls" command which can be implemted as follows
(open for discussion of course)
LIST FILES {pattern} {[IN path] {[ADDED | MODIFIED | ACCESSED] IN LAST [N]
[DAYS|MONTHS|YEARS]}}
LIST DIRECTORIES
and going beyond that
LIST DEVICES {OF TYPE REMOVABLE| HARDDISK | NETWORKADAPTERS | }
LIST USERS { LOGGEDON | INACTIVE }
LIST GROUPS
LIST FILESYSTEMS
Let me guess, you're a VMS fan? ;-)
Personally, I liked the Adventure shell from way back when:
$ look
There are two exits, called bar.c and foo.c
$ attack foo.c with vi
and so on... :-)
