That seems right.

Ah... did not know that (I was never a RSTS/E hacker back in the day -
we had v6, v7, v8 and v9 at work for supporting our few remaining RSTS
customers and our accounting department in 1985) but I myself didn't
do much on the systems that wasn't previously delved and documented.
I've done a *lot* more on RSX-11 and RT-11 (including serious
development).

Thanks for that tip.  I may have to bust out a RSTS implementation on
Simh to try things out.
