osql is primarily a utility for running Transact-SQL statements on an
instance of SQL Server, including MSDE 2000. The primary reference for most
of the statements you can run using osql is the Transact-SQL Reference in
the SQL Server 2000 Books Online.

You can download the latest version of the SQL Server 2000 Books Online
from:

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/productdoc/2000/books.asp

The latest version of the SQL Server 2000 Books Online is also published in
the MSDN Library at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/startsql/portal_7ap1.asp?frame=true

These are topics about running osql that are in the copy of the Books Online
in MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/acdata/ac_8_mta_01_5cmk.asp?frame=true
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/coprompt/cp_osql_1wxl.asp?frame=true

This is the start of the Transact-SQL Reference in the MSDN copy of the
Books Online:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_tsqlcon_6lyk.asp?frame=true
