Dear Alan,

on the 3437A triaxial input the outer shell is the guard (possibly 
connected to ground, but I'm not sure on this multimeter), the middle 
electrode is the iput return, and the central pin is the + input.

I will look tomorrow at QRL for the command list. If you want a 3437A, 
probably working, without input connector, it's for free.
