	DIAL	Communicate with another computer via Telco

Maintained by MRC.

	Access:
		DIAL phone-number

	The <CONTROL><META>Q command (or <CTRL>↑ Q on non-displays)
	hangs up the phone connection and exits from DIAL.

     DIAL is used to communicate with another computer via phone
lines.  It uses TTY11 as a calling modem to dial out to another
computer in conjunction with the auto-dialer.

     DIAL's commands are similar to TELNET's and are documented in
the monitor command manual.
	ATSIGN	Source cref program

Maintained by RMS.

	Access:
		R ATSIGN

     ATSIGN is a program which generates a cross-reference listing of
a source file.  It is smart about the XGP and various fonts, and has
the capability to maintain records of previous listings in short "lrec"
files; when the source file it changed, it is possible to re-ATSIGN
the file and get a listing only of the pages which changed.

     ATSIGN knows about the syntax of PDP-10 and PDP-11 assembly code,
and LISP code.

     ATSIGN has an incredibly hairy command syntax.  For full gory
details, read ATSIGN.RMS[UP,DOC].  I recommend ATSIGN highly over
assemly CREFs for obtaining listings of programs.

	WHERE	Non-display users-only WHO

	Access:
		WHERE user-name

     WHERE prints WHO-type information on a selected user.  WHERE with
no arguments prints this information on all users on the system,
WHERE * does the same for all jobs on the system.

     If WHERE is REENTERed, it will prompt for a job name.  A job name
can be input, and WHERE will print WHO-type information on all users
running a job with that particular name.  For example,
	GET SYS WHERE
	REENTER
	E
will report on all users running the E text editor.

	PTYJOB	Communicate with a slave job on a PTY

Maintained by MRC.

	Access:
		R PTYJOB

	Typing <CONTROL><META>Q (or <CTRL>↑ Q on non-displays) kills
	the job running on the PTY and exits PTYJOB.

     PTYJOB gets a pseudo-teletype and logs in a job on it.  The user
can then use it to communicate with the job on that PTY in much the
same way as TELNET.  PTYJOB has many of the same commands as TELNET.

     This is most often used when a recording of a console session is
desired.
	SPOOL	Queue a file to the LPT and XGP unspoolers

Maintained by ME.

	Access:
		Read the monitor command manual.

     The SPOOL command and its implications are too lengthy to discuss
here.  However, SPOOL.REG[UP,DOC] documents the LPT and XGP spooling
system fairly well, and is a duplicate of what is in the monitor command
manual (although possibly more up to date).  NEWS[UP,DOC] also has
some information about recent changes to SPOOL.
	ITSV	Convert character set from ITS to SAIL

Written and maintained by MRC.

	Access:
		R ITSV

     ITSV is used to convert a file which has the extended ASCII character
set from MIT's flavor of this character set to ours.  In particular,
uparrows and backarrows get switched around with carets and underscores.
Normal character set conversion between 1968 and pre-1968 ASCII also takes
place.

     The program asks for an input file and overwrites it with the new
file.
	SDDT	DDT with Stanford UUO's defined to it

Maintained by MRC.

	Access:
		R SDDT

     SDDT is an ordinary DDT but with the Stanford UUO's defined to
it.  It is thus more convenient to use for quick machine language
hacking than ordinary DDT.

     SDDT was simply created by loading ordinary DDT with a file
containing all the UUO definitions.
