The Syntax error you have got said it clearly, the command was typed
wrong. From example you have written it seems that you have forgot to
enclose user name and password between simple apostrophes ('). They are
strings, not keywords, so they have to be quoted.

i.e.
connect 'employee' user 'sysdba' password 'masterkey'

btw, you don't need to define localhost as it's implicit.

The other option is that you have PowerConsole installed, but not the
Firebird Pack for it that defines the CONNECT command. The list of
installed modules should be listed when PowerConsole is started (at
least on v0.7.5). Or you can type HELP in PWC to see available commands
and help topics.
