All handled via INCLUDEs that contain COMMANDs in the directory. With the advent of the COMMAND directive, the need to IPL CMS to perform CP functions has pretty much evaporated. Where CMS is still useful in that respect is when you want to do something based on conditional logic or that requires a CMS service. E.g. Do something different if you detect you are not on your 'home' system (DR) and you want to use the CMS IDENTIFY command rather than QUERY USERID.
