newbie isql help

Hi, I'm trying to run a simple SQL command thus:
$ isql -i input_file -o output_file user@host:port.
I'm using Solaris 8 as the OS and ASE 12.5.3 as the SQL server.
When I run the above command, the output file is generated but is 0
bytes. I don't see any error messages on screen.
I tried to run the command directly by logging in but my SQL command is
5030 characters long. There seems to be a limit on the size of the
command line text that can be entered.
How do I diagnose why my command file is not being accepted in the
first case?
At the isql prompt, how do I seek help for the isql commands available
to the user?
At the isql prompt, how do I specify an input file for the command when
the file is located in a local directory?
TIA,
Sashi
