Hmmm... from section 1.8 in the Decnet-20 system managers guide... SYSTEM OVERVIEW Each of the following commands is complete. Command keyword only: NCP>EXIT NCP)HELP Command keyword and entity: NCP)SHOW EXECUTOR (SUMMARY is implied) Command keyword, entity, and parameter: NCP)SET EXECUTOR NODE nodeid NCP)ZERO CIRCUIT cktid COUNTERS A complete list of NCP command keywords follows. The order is alphabetic for ease of reference. Because the action requested by a command keyword is related to both the entity and parameter that follow the command keyword, the functions are defined in non-specific terms. Refer to the section indicated for a more specific description of function.

Few hours ago, after my first answer to Joe, I've discovered that digitized docs about TOPS-20 in general (and DECnet-20 in particular) are quite scarce. Just for comparison: TOPS-10 software notebooks are almost complete while TOPS-20 ones are almost absent... :( G.
