[HECnet] RSTS/E patches

[Paul Koning]

The patches I posted are mostly for both.  The kdj11e.cmd patch is for a problem seen on SIMH that probably can't happen on real hardware.  The nsp1.pat file Tony mentioned is certainly more likely on SIMH but I suspect could happen on real hardware also.  In any case, none of them will create problems on real hardware.
