Now, that's quite misleading really, as I know exactly what an IPL is and what it does ... what I'm looking for is a plain English, detailed explanation ... something along the lines of

"The operator initiates an IPL by manually ??? on the MVS Consloe. This forces the system to shutdown and instigate a warm (I think) re-start. As the machine boots up it ........."

Any links or help appreciated ... and it's not a homework question, I'm 47 !!!
