In this manual from 1973:
https://web.mit.edu/saltzer/www/publications/TRs+TMs/Multics/TR-123.pdf
Page 136 has a login session and 153 does have a "list" example, which
shows the access (e.g. "re "), a number, then short filenames. I've read
different stories on whether it supported 24 characters or 36 (in contrast
to early unix 14 character and VMS 39 characters).
But I was hoping for something more contemporary, an actual photo of some
sort. But yes, simh would be a backup option when I get back to some
equipment that can run it.

Why not simply Do your own screen captures? Also
have you looked through
the manuals and the Multics website?

have some way to list processes also.
