That brings back memories. I used to work with RDB versions 3, and to a lesser extent 4. I got spoiled by all the helpful SHOW commands, and by the consistent help that was always available. Switching to Oracle from Rdb was quite a shock. Here was this database that was supposed to be so great and wonderful (and it probably is), but it sure was a pain to manage.
