Subject: how to find clist's or view library

I just started in a company that uses mainframes.
I got access last week. A lot of things are not very well documented, and I don't know much about mainframes in general.
I may be explaining this wrong but it seems like there are several environments and then each environment has several apps that are launched by using the clist app name command.
So I launch rumba and it gives me a logo screen.
From there I can either type in an environment. cv02vtm
this will bring me to a log in prompt.
after I log in I type in the clist appname and I get in.
I found that going a different path.
logo screen
hit enter
select clss1 (cid users)
log in
then I get a command prompt I can type in list
This gives me a list of what I think are environments.
cv01, cv02 etc..
My question is, how do I get a list of apps/ clists that I can run in each one?
It seems to be a basic question but I cannot find an answer to it.
In other words, I know because someone told me cv02 has app1 and app2 in it. So if I type in clist app1 I get that to work.
but how do I see if there are other choices in cv02 other than the 2 people "know" about?
I tried to straight telnet into the box, but it asks for application before I can continue and I don't know what to give it as a response.
