AIM Sysop is an AIM client that was inaccurately named by (mostly young) AOL Instant Messenger enthusiasts in the late 1990s. They assumed because it contained beta rendezvous features, and a rudimentary debug window, that it must be for system operators. In reality it contains absolutely no operator or administrative ability, at least no more than any other AIM client.
It's still interesting though! If you want to mess around with it, there is a list of known commands for the debug window, among other information, all of which may be found on this page.

Sets of parameters for the commands are surrounded less-than and greater-than characters, with each parameter separated by a comma. Optional parameters are in square brackets.
