 3 Syntax as a command:  admin

 6 Function:  causes the system to enter admin mode, allowing you to use
 7 the bootload console or an initializer terminal to execute normal
 8 Multics commands.  (The only restriction is that you can't be in admin
 9 mode on more than one terminal at a time.)  Because the initializer has
10 extraordinary power and special limitations, admin mode should only be
11 used by or at the request of a system programmer or system
12 administrator.  To enforce this, a password is required in order to
13 enter admin mode.  This command can be used only in ring 4.
