Why is it that when i do a 'help index', certain commands are not listed?
like 'create', 'commit'. And these commands are not in the oracle
tutorials either, see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/doc...lus/index.html .

Are these commands different from the others?

You need to distinguish between SQL (defined in the SQL reference
manual) and SQL*Plus. Your link points to SQL*Plus. The sql*plus
information doesn't contain any info about SQL.
Sql*plus doesn't contain any info on SQL since 7.0 in 1994, as the
info would have become too voluminous.
