In this dissertation a Console Command Processor has been developed for Intel's Personnel Development System with ISIS--PDS h.: Rill L. Th.- progr;=,m has been developed in 8O8 macro- assembly. The thesis incudes development of a CLI to recog-nize the various console commands, and sonic of the file manage rnent commands such as TYPE, ETTE, CREATE, APPE111D, COPY, and RENAME.
