Had a small typo and ended up with the command line options for Oracle 11g SQL*Plus.
Always handy to know…
C:\] sqlplus -H SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.4.0 - Beta on Thu Jun 28 14:44:32 2007 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved. SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.4.0 - Beta Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved. Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements. Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V -H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the usage help. -V Displays the SQL*Plus version. Usage 2: sqlplus [ [[option]] [[logon]] [[start]] ] [option] is: [-C [version]] [-L] [-M "[options]"] [-R [level]] [-S] -C [version] Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the version specified by [version]. The version has the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0 -F Enables the failover mode for a RAC environment. -L Attempts to log on just once, instead of reprompting on error. -M "[options]" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options have the form: HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text] [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}] -R [level] Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands that interact with the file system. The level can be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which disables all user commands interacting with the file system. -S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of commands. [logon] is: ([username][/[password]][@[connect_identifier]] | /) [AS SYSDBA | AS SYSOPER | AS SYSASM] | /NOLOG | [EDITION=value] Specifies the database account username, password and connect identifier for the database connection. Without a connect identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database. The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database administration privileges. [connect_identifier] can be in the form of Net Service Name or Easy Connect. @[[net_service_name] | [//]Host[:Port]/[service_name]] [net_service_name] is a simple name for a service that resolves to a connect descriptor. Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the database net service name is ORCL. sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database server computer. Port specifies the listening port on the database server. [service_name] specifies the service name of the database you want to access. Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the Service name is ORCL. sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a database. The EDITION specifies the value for Application Edition [start] is: @[URL]|[filename][.[ext]] [[parameter] ...] Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that will be assigned to substitution variables in the script. When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile (e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile (e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may contain SQL*Plus commands. Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information |

You can do this for example via the SPOOL command, which spools your output to file or via TERM(inal) on/of commands or by setting a different editor tot make your SQLPlus client. If you use SHOW ALL in SQL*Plus, you will get an overview of all primary command statements.
If you created a file output on disk via the SPOOL command, you can use, for example, “HOST CAT /tmp/myoutput.lis” or equivalent to see the generated output in SQL*Plus on Linux or UNIX (Windows would be something like “HOST type c:\temp\myoutput.lis”)
