more help needed …

--mh - don't think we need to login (maybe)Starting and Stopping the LISP Machine

form link:

To boot up Genera, click on the "Start Genera" icon on the desktop. It takes a few minutes to boot up. After you get the Genera screen, type "login", hit the space bar and enter "lisp-machine" (automatically capitalized as Lisp-Machine as the machine recognizes the login). Press the SELECT key and the D key. This will bring up the Document Examiner and give you access to the full documentation set. SELECT and L will take you back to the Lisp Listener. Do not be afraid to make extensive use of the HELP key. There is a lot of context sensitive help in Genera.

To properly exit Genera, you should enter "logout" then "halt machine". This will drop you back to the FEP. Then enter "shutdown". This will halt Lisp and take you back to the Mac desktop.
