You already know about the help command.  The remaining shell commands you can use in the beta release are listed below.

ls (or dir)
"List". This displays the Openwings entities under your current location in the Openwings hierarchy.
cd
"Change Directory". Use this command to navigate the hierarchy of Openwings entities.
lcd (or lchdir)
"Local Change Directory". For navigating the local file system.
pwd (or lpwd)
"Print Working Directory". This displays the current working directory in the local file system.
lls (or ldir)
"Local List". This displays the list of files in your current working directory in the local file system.
install
Used to install components into a container manager (platform).
process
Used to start and stop processes within a container manager, and to move processes between container managers.
uninstall

edit

In order to try out many of these commands, you will need to run a container manager, or have one available on the network.  To run a container manager on your local machine in Windows, execute the batch file ow.bat. In Unix, run ow.csh. Then proceed to the next step.
