Do the research yourself. Neither manual set will be complete; most places have their own additions to both ISPF and regular TSO.

While ins ISPF type "HELP" (or press PF1) and then "I", it will take you to the index of all commands. For TSO commands, give the command "TSO HELP" to see a lot of them, and "TSO HELP <command>" to the help for a specific command.
