I am running Oracle 817 EE, on NT.

No manuals, no experience, and I can't find any online documentation
(if anyone know where there is an online admin guide please let me
know, I found http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/oracle8i.html but there is not an admin guide as such that I can see).

I need to turn on archiveog mode, and can't figure out how. The documentation (or lack of) supplied with my backup product
(arcserve2k) says I can type ARCHIVE LOG LIST to give me the status,
and then a list of commands starting with CONNECT INTERNAL to change it..

As you can see below, it hasn't worked.. Can anyone give me a little more info?
