In an attempt to acquaint new AI users with some of the more obscure
aspects of AI:ITS, the following file of random goodies was compiled
during the familiarization period of one graduate student. AI lives as
much by a strong oral tradition as a written one and much of what one
learns about AI is collected in an informal manner. This file attempts to
codify some of the more important aspects of AI:ITS which he found useful:
It is by no means an exhaustive summary.

Apology! This file is in no particular order. It is at best a
chronological trace of an information acquisition process and still
retains the order in which features were discovered. Most of what a
novice desires can be gotten by listing this fille on the AI or Mathlab
line printers and perusing it. Afterwards, specific entries can be found
by clever use of the TECO search command.

This text is not even intended to be an introduction to ITS or any
other aspect of the AI system. It is what it seems to be: a centralized
compilation of "minor truths."To that end, I hope it is helpful.

Disclaimer: Although, an attempt will be made to keep the file up to
date, no guarantees can be made about the proper operation of some of the
more exotic capabilities described. Care should be exercised when using
potentially violent features. If you are not sure about a particular
cryptically described feature, please ask!!

More formal documentation can be found in the AI:.INFO.; directory.

I would appreciate your comments about the usefulness of this file,
suggestions for its improvement, information about the obsolescence of old
features or the presence of new ones. If you find a feature which is not
included and you think is worth- while, send mail to JAN @MIT-AI and it
will be included.

TECO MACROS

[This describes the old set of PHW macros which, for the most part
have been superseded by IPG's macros (q.v.). However, like the United
States and British Engineering Units, AI:JAN; decided not to quit a good
thing even though PHW himself has switched.] RMS informs me that there
exist at least one other significant set of macros known as the TECMAC
macros. See .TECO.;TECMAC DOC for more information.

To link to these macros, do the following at DDT:

:LINK <usrnam>;.TECO. (INIT) <c/r>

TO LOAD & RUN ANOTHER JUST "L <FILENAME> C/R" ALL OVER AGAIN

MUSRUN IS A PROGRAM TO LOAD AND RUN CURRENT MUSIC PROGRAMS ON THE
PDP10 UNDER CONTROL OF THE PDP6. IT HAS A SELF-DOCUMENTATION FEATURE (TYPE
QUESTION MARK AT IT).THE COMMAND BLURBS GENERATED BY QUESTION MARK, AND
THE ERROR MESSAGES, ARE FAIRLY SELF-EXPLANATORY WITH THE FOLLOWING
EXCEPTIONS: 1) THE LOAD COMMAND TRIES TO START UP
THE PROGRAM AFTER IT HAS LOADED IT.

2) SHOULD THE START ROUTINE NOT BE
SUCCESSFUL (IN ITS OPINION) OF
STARTING UP THE 10, IT TYPES
"RUNNING?" AND DOES A LITTLE
CLEANING UP. IT DOES NOT CONSIDER
THIS AN ERROR CONDITION, THE PROGRAM
CAN PROBABLY STILL BE STARTED FROM
THE KEYS, OR BY REMEDYING THE PROBLEM
(IS THE RUN LIGHT ON?) AND TYPING
"G".

3) IF IT SHOULD CONSIDER ITSELF
UNSUCCESSFUL IN EXECUTING THE
VARIOUS COMMANDS TO THE MUSIC PROGRAM
ITSELF (P, S, A, T, ETC.), IT TYPES
EITHER "RUNNING?" OR "OLDPROG?",
ITS DECISION BEING BASED ON SUCH
THINGS AS THE PHASE OF THE
MOON, ETC. AGAIN THIS IS NOT
CONSIDERED AN ERROR CONDITION.
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THIS ARE
THAT THE PDP10 MAY NOT BE RUNNING,
OR THAT THE MUSIC PROGRAM IS AN
OLD ONE NOT USED TO FOLLOWING
COMMANDS FROM ANOTHER PROCESSOR.

4) THE LOAD COMMAND (AND ANYTIHING
ELSE THAT MIGHT BE ADDED THAT
BELIEVES IN FILE DESCRIPTIONS)
BELIEVES IN RUBOUT WHILE TAKING
THE FILE DESCRIPTION. OTHERWISE
RUBOUT MEANS STOP INPUT FOR THE
CURRENT COMMAND.

TELNET INFORMATION SUMMARY....

CONVENTIONS IN THIS MEMO:
AN EXPRESSION CONTAINING MATCHING ANGLE BRACKETS (<>) SHOULD
NOT BE INTERPRETED LITERALLY, BUT INSTEAD SHOULD HAVE THE ANGLE
BRACKETS AND THE ENCLOSED SUB*EXPRESSION REPLACED WITH THE USER'S
EVALUATION OF THE SUB*EXPRESSION, E.G. "FOO<CR>" MEANS F, O, O,
CARRIAGE*RETURN. "↑<CHARACTER>" MEANS UPARROW, AN*ARBITRARY*
CHARACTER.
↑<CHARACTER> MEANS THAT <CHARACTER> IS TYPED WITH THE CTRL
KEY HELD DOWN, E.G. ↑Z MEANS CTRL*Z.

* * * * *

TELNET HAS TWO MODES, CALL AND TALK. YOU ARE INITIALLY IN
CALL MODE, AND YOU ARE IN CALL MODE WHENEVER TELNET TYPES OUT
"HOST = ". THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IN THIS MODE IS TYPE A HOST
NUMBER IN OCTAL, FOLLOWED BY A CARRIAGE RETURN. IF YOU MAKE A
MISTAKE, TYPE RUBOUT, AND TELNET WILL RETYPE "HOST = ".
WHEN YOU TYPE THE CARRIAGE RETURN, TELNETCONNECTION OR RETURN TO CALL MODE. IF THE CONNECTION IS MADE, THE
DISTANT HOST SHOULD TYPE SOME SORT OF IDENTIFICATION, AND YOU ARE THEN
IN TALK MODE. IN THIS MODE, YOUR TERMINAL ACTS MORE*OR*LESS LIKE A
TELETYPE ON THE DISTANT HOST, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

CASE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CASE YOU TYPE ON YOUR TERMINAL. TELNET
FORCES IT TO THE CASE WHICH YOU SPECIFY WITH ≡\.
SPECIAL CHARACTERS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS ARE NOT PASSED
DIRECTLY TO THE DISTANT HOST:
↑Z MONITOR STOPS TELNET
↑← (CTRL*SHIFT*O) MONITOR TAKES NEXT CHARACTER(S) AS
COMMAND:
↑Z SENDS ↑Z TO TELNET, WHICH SENDS IT TO DISTANT
HOST
↑← SENDS ↑← TO TELNET, WHICH SENDS IT TO DISTANT
HOST

TRY ML↑K WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE TELNET PROGRAM WE
ALL KNOW AND LOVE, EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1) IT ONLY TELNETS TO ML.
2) IT DOES AN AUTOMATIC ↑↑U .
3) IT DOES AN AUTOMATIC ↑←P WHEN YOU ENTER THE PROGRAM.
4) IF YOU LEAVE THE PROGRAM TEMPORARILY (TO LOOK AT OTHER JOBS
ON ML, FOR EXAMPLE) TYPE ↑↑Z INSTEAD OF ↑Z ; THIS WILL DO
AUTOMATIC ↑←D FOR YOU AND WHEN YOU ≠P IT IT WILL REDO ↑←P .
5) ↑↑Q DOES ↑←D BEFORE SUICIDE.

READING PAPER TAPES: ADVICE FROM MAB

MAB 10/18/74 08:46:02
No magic program for reading paper tapes, sorry.First,
because we have our own paper tape reader here, and secondly because
I'm not sure how well the reader on ITS works. But you can certainly
try the following string in TECO:

ERPTR:$EWDSK:≠EEFOO BAR$$

which should, I believe, open the paper tape reader for input, open
the dsk for output (at that moment, file ←TECO← OUTPUT is created),
and transfer the entire file from the input device onto the output
device, and finally renaming the file on the output device to be
FOO BAR.

You might let me know if that actually works.

THE FILE, BUT IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GET SOMEONE TO SHOW

(1) To use LLOGO XGP command:
XGP <file> <area>
where <file> is as for READFILE, etc. and <area>
speicifies a rectangular portion of the screen
as in the window commands, defaulting to the
whole display area. This saves the picture
contained in the area as a file of characters
which is printable by SCRIMP. Example:
XGP PICTURE > JAN 100
saves in JAN;PICTURE > a picture inside a square
extending for 100 turtle steps horizontally and
vertically from the turtle's position.

Two caveats: One, too dense shading causes white-out
on XGP, an unfortunate property of xerox machines in
general. Two, when system is slow saving large pictures
is likely to lose. Possibly more winning XGP command
may appear soon.

(2) Use ALLOC, same as in LISP [see LISP manual].
Current allocations are:
((LIST 10000 20000) (SYMBOL 2000 3000) (FIXNUM 3000 5000))
Also, (FLONUM 3000 4000) added upon loading turtle.

To get lots of useful information from a TV console while
a job is running (or elsewise!), the following ESCape key
commands are useful:

Format :::> ESC <mumble> <W or S>

"<mumble> <W or S>" :::> 0 W => Turn off WHO line
1 W => WHO line for current job
3 W => Next job on job ring WHO line
10 W => System WHO line
0 S => Turn off SPY function
1 S => SPY on TV #1
.
.
.
n S => SPY on TV #n
.
.
.

An instant screen copying function is activated by "ESC Q".
Seems to work better with Black printing on White background.
"ESC C" will change the TV display mode from white-on-black to black-on-white and back
again if re-pressed. "ESC <line#>S" will allow you to look at other
people's TV consoles (with the usual privacy admonishments). "ESC 24S" is
a special line containing the ":NAME" display of the users currently logged into AI.
":WHO AI" will give you a quick synopsis if fed to DDT, as will TTY↑F.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
To change the name of a job, do "<Name><$><$>J" to DDT, where "<Name>" is the
new name.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Try ":CROCK" sometime from DDT to see a neat hack.
If you get tired of that one, do ":DCROCK". Still more fun can be had by ":tty"
at DDT, especially from a Datapoint. TV's can mess around with ":WUMPUS" at DDT.

No, it is not a baby Spot..
It is a new turtle!
It's name is CIT.

Dick & Jane play with the new turtle.
Turtles can't play with balls.
Turtles draw pretty pictures for Dick & Jane.

See Dick tell CIT to draw a stickman.
CIT draws a funny stickman.
It is doing ballet.

See Jane tell CIT to draw a circle.
Poor turtle goes round & round.
It doesn't know when to stop.
Jane will have to find the bugs hurting the turtle.

Dick & Jane play with CIT a long time.
CIT never gets tired.
It doesn't need to eat.
Dick & Jane never have to take CIT for a walk.

To get the memory space consumed by an arbitrary function,
the following method will work.
There exists a global variable called "BPORG" for "Binary
Program ORigin" which points to the next location available for
loading a binary (compiled) function. SETQ <something> to BPORG,
then read in your function, then print (DIFFERENCE BPROG <something>)
and that should be the memory space consumed by the function read.

"During the course of this research I found myself responding
to errors in the IDIC code in very
much the same way as one of IDIC's component procedures does when
it runs into difficulties. It does not try to globally
reassess or even understand the problem but attempts to fix
its local and symptomatic manifestations. In a very real sense, given the
basic repetoire of current AI concepts, a problem writes
the program to solve itself. I am only a sort of interpreter-compiler.
This is very encouraging and some additional work following up this
lead will be documented in the near future."

QMAIL INFORMATION
::::: :::::::::::

QMAIL gist:

:QMAIL name@site,name2@site2,...<CRLF>
<message> ↑C

QMAIL details:
Qmail sends messages to people over
the network or locally; the "Q" is for "queue" as it
always operates by queueing mail to a special
independent program which does the actual sending.
It can be used as something of an adulterated DDT ":MAIL" command
as shown above (":QMAIL FOO MESSAGE↑C will work),
but is much more useful when one knows the
magic character... i.e., alt-mode.

≠ (alt-mode) followed by:
?- lists commands.
T- To: <name>,<name2>,... i.e. add to mailing list.
U- Un-to: <name>,<name2>... uh, take him off mailing list.
'*' works as either a name or site. Alone, flushes all.
S- Subject: specify a subject line. Null line deletes.
I- Insert <file> at end of message text.(hence really append)
Q- Quit, as in :KILL

-----------------------------------------------
Keyboard notes:
↑G: stops typeout
↑L: re-displays mailing list and text.
↑Q: quote next char.
CR: safe reply to most any input request.
RUBOUT: is moderately clever.
ALT-MODE: command invocation, echoes as a ">" prompt.
(on TV's)
META & TOP: will quote and TOPify, respectively.
-----------------------------------------------

OTHER COMMANDS:

L- List the mailing list. Useful for non-displays.
Z- Zap, i.e. clear message buffer (but preserve mailing list)
↑C- Sends message but restarts Qmail instead of quitting.
Note this is <alt>↑C, not just plain ↑C.

E- Edit Escape to TECO.
This writes a file named ←MAIL← ←EDIT← on the
directory the user's sname points to, and valrets a
":TECO ←MAIL← ←EDIT←" to DDT. In most cases,
barring invalid system names and cranky TECO INIT's, this
kludge will get the message thus far into a TECO
buffer, where the user can then edit
to his heart's content. When QMAIL is
proceeded (not restarted!) it will try to read that
file back into its own buffer, so after
TECO'ing the message one should write it
back where it came from. (EW≠EE≠≠) Some time in the
future this will be replaced by a more
winning invocation; until then, good luck.

R Receipt-switch complement. Default (off) means
you will be mailed a receipt for only those
messages which could not be sent immediately.
If enabled, receipts will always be given.
This dates from days of unreliable service.

F Format force. Default format of message is ITS for
solely intra-ITS mail, TENEX for mail with one or
more non-ITS recipients. This command will force
format to whichever you specify.

============================================================
Syntax of a "name" or recipient

The general format is <name>, <name>@<site>, or
<name>%<site>. (From TIPs, % is easier to type).
All reasonable host nicknames (and unique fractions thereof)
should be recognized. Let me know if your favorite
names aren't there.
There are two special "name" formats with
special effects. One is "sticky site"; giving
a host specification (i.e., "@site") alone will
make that host apply to all subsequent names which
have no host spec, but only until another host
spec is found. If this is another sticky site,
the default host is now this new sticky site,
otherwise it reverts to the local site regardless
of the unsticking host spec. The idea is to
be able to specify a site and follow it with the
names of all recipients at that site; e.g.

@sail, foo1,foo2, foo3, bar @ ml,friend
sends to FOO1, FOO2, and FOO3 at Stanford,
BAR at Mathlab, and FRIEND locally.

The second special format is "(filename)"
where the file is taken to contain a string of
names in the same format as might be typed in;
that is, a distribution list. The world is
actually pushed and popped, so distribution
lists can include the names of other lists, to
a depth of 7 or so. E.G.

@ai,larry,curly,moe,(klh;people list),oof
sends to 3 people at MIT-AI, to all the
recipients listed in "klh;people list",
and OOF locally.
←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←
←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←
ADDENDUM

Also, there is a job (disowned, variously named
after some communications satellite or another) which
does the actual mailing, and enables
network mail to be "sent" irregardless of
remote host status; the satellite simply waits until
the destination comes alive. If it is running,
mail should be delivered within a minute; QMAIL
writes the message instantly to a file and exits, but
the satellite may take a while to notice
the file. Note that this scheme is painless for
messages to many recipients, to dead foreign hosts,
and to large mail files (such as SYS).
If the satellite is not orbiting (or otherwise screwed)
mail will take longer, i.e. until it is restarted
or fixed, but will eventually arrive.
(neither crash, glitch, nor parity etc...)

All bugs, suggestions, etc to KLH @ AI.

*** TN6 INFORMATION ***

[On JAN's directory, this program is called "TL".]

TN6 IS FOR COMMUNICATING OVER THE NET
WITH LINE AT A TIME SYSTEMS SUCH AS MULTICS.
IT IS LIKE TELNET, WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

INPUT IS NOT SENT TO THE FOREIGN HOST UNTIL YOU HIT RETURN.
LINEFEED SENDS THE INPUT OFF WITHOUT A NEW-LINE SEQUENCE AT THE
END.
RUBOUT IS DONE LOCALLY, AND ON DISPLAY TERMINALS THE LINE IMAGE
IS CORRECTLY MAINTAINED.
CONTROL/V RETYPES THE LINE IN CASE YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT YOU'VE
RUBBED OUT.
↑P ERASES THE SCREEN. (ON A DATAPOINT, USE CONTROL/ZERO.)
↑K KILLS THE CURRENT LINE.
↑U AND ↑L ARE USED FOR CASE SHIFTING INSTEAD OF \.
HITTING SHIFT/RETURN ON A DATAPOINT WILL DO WHAT YOU MEANT.
WHEN YOU ARE USING A DISPLAY TERMINAL AND THE FOREIGN HOST OUTPUTS
A FORM FEED OR RUNS OFF THE SCREEN,
TN6 WILL SAY "--MORE--". VALID RESPONSES ARE P (NEW PAGE),
T (GO TO TOP OF SCREEN WITHOUT ERASING), OR S (SCROLL -- WON'T
WORK UNTIL ITS SUPPORTS ↑P>.)

THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS ARE AVAILABLE. TO ENTER A COMMAND
HIT CTRL/UP-ARROW AND ENTER A COMMAND LINE (ECHOS AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.) HIT CTRL/K TO LEAVE COMMAND MODE
WITHOUT TYPING A COMMAND. IN COMMAND MODE, HIT QUESTION

The Integrated Circuit Identification System (IDIC) exists in the very
old JAN; version as DSK:JAN;IDIC0 >. The newest version exists
as JAN;IDIC >. The full system exists as JAN;SYSTEM -IDIC-.
A fasloadable -idic- file is JAN;<IDIC ←FASL←. A sample picture to try it
on is JAN;POINTS IC2NAM. If there are problems with the FASL version,
see JAN: It probably means some incompatibility with the current
LISP or ITS and IDIC will have to be recompiled or some such.
Documentation on -IDIC- can be found in JAN;<IDIC WPTEXT. This file
needs to be TJ6ed before it is readable and it is undergoing
(July-August, 1975) considerable revision. See JAN@MIT-AI.
Both SYSTEM -IDIC- and IDIC0 > have been moved to backup tape
to conserve disk space on July 21, 1975.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
To save a full LISP environment, do (SUSPEND) then do
:PDUMP DSK:<user>;TS <filename> at DDT. The
environment can be restarted by calling the file from DDT via
:<filename> <cr>. The result is "complete" (i.e., you start exactly where
you left off) but incredibly space-consuming on disk. If you want to save
a run version of a new system, use the LISP MACDMP function.
Typically, (MACDMP '$Y/ <user>/;<filename1>/ <filename2>/ ) will work.
It will VALRET (q.v.) to DDT and you'll have to <c/r> it to verify
you really want to do it. SETQing the ERRLIST prior to doing the MACDMP
is very handy for printing headings, etc. in the run version.
LISP will automatically eval (i.e., MAPC 'EVAL ERRLIST) the forms
on the ERRLIST.

** AN ALTERNATE TJ6 **

M. R. DUNLAVEY HAS AN ALTERNATE TJ6 AVAILABLE. IT INCLUDES
A FACILITY FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING A TABLE OF CONTENTS
WITH PAGE NUMBERS AND SECTION HEADINGS FROM THE TEXT.
TO ACQUIRE HIS TJ6, LINK "TS TJ6" (OR SOME SUCH) IN
YOUR DIRECTORY TO "MRD;TS MYTJ6". SECTION HEADERS ARE GOTTEN
AS USUAL BY DOING THE ".SECT". YOU CAN SET NUMBER (COUNTER)
REGISTERS WITH ".GENSET <VALUE> <REG#>" AND INCREMENT
THEM WITH "↑G<INCR><REG#>" ANYWHERE IN THE TEXT (MUCH LIKE
THE FFONT SWITCH "↑F" COMMAND). THE ONLY ADDITIONAL THING WHICH
HAPPENS WITH THE "↑G" IS THAT IT DUMPS THE INCREMENTED CONTENTS
OF THE REGISTER "REG#" ONTO THE TEXT IN PLACE OF THE COMMAND.
BOTH "INCR>" AND "<REG#>" SHOULD BE SINGLE DIGITS.

The table of contents is generated by running this TJ6 once with
a "/C" appended to the filename containing the text to be indexed.
That is, if you wish to generate the table of contents for the file of
thesis text called "USER;THESIS INPUT", run TJ6 once giving
it "DSK:USER;THESIS INPUT/C" as input. This will generate
a TJ6-able file whose contents can be inserted at the
appropriate place in the text. The file contains the generated
Table of Contents. Once this stuff is inserted, run TJ6 again over the
modified source file to get your final TJ6 MEMO.

[A WINNING NET COMMUNICATIONS MONITOR USEFUL BETWEEN
SYSTEMS RUNNING ITS]

The SUPDUP program can be used to log in to other ITS
systems over the network. The other system is informed
of your terminal type so that you get all the facilities
available locally. In particular, if you are at a display
terminal TECO ↑R mode will work, etc.

The :AI, :ML, or :DM command may be used to get to
the AI, ML, or DMS system, respectively, or the :SUPDUP
command may be used. The latter asks for a host name.

All characters including ↑Z and ↑← work through the
network, except for ↑↑ (ctrl-circumflex or ctrl-shift-N)
on regular terminals, and META/FORM on TV terminals.
This character is an escape to "command" mode; it types
"Cmnd -> " and you may now type a one-letter command:

Q closes your connection and :KILL's. :LOGOUT first!!
D gets back to DDT without closing the connection;
≠p to resume talking to the other system.
↑Z does local ↑Z (same as D).
C allows you to change the command character
if you use ↑↑ too much to waste it on this.
G enters a mode where ↑G and ↑S are assumed to mean
"stop typing." If you type one of these characters,
SUPDUP will send it through but it will locally
inhibit typeout until you type another character.
This is to provide fast response on slow terminals.
Another G command turns the mode off again.
? gives brief help.
↑↑ sends a ↑↑ through (i.e. the command character quotes itself).
anything else is ignored.

After you type your one command the cursor goes back to
where it was and you are back in normal mode.

On TV terminals the various control and meta keys all work
just as they do locally. However, the CALL and BACK-NEXT keys
apply only to the local system. Use CTRL/Z (↑Z) and CTRL/RUBOUT (↑←)
to get these functions on the foreign system. Note that the
initial command character is META/FORM rather than CTRL/↑.

On non-TV terminals the control characters are translated into
the upper-case ascii controls of the 12-bit TV character set.
This includes the RETURN and ALTMODE keys; note that the TVs
give different codes for RETURN and CTRL/M. However, this is
the proper thing for Teco ↑R mode.

If your connection is broken for any reason, INCLUDING the
"Q" command, the job on the other system will be detached.
(If you wanted to log out, you should have typed :LOGOUT before ↑↑Q.)
You have ten minutes to come back and claim it (log in again
and DDT will say --ATTACH YOUR DETACHED JOB-- and you reply
space.) If you don't pick up the job within ten minutes
it will be flushed.

An annoying characteristic of TJ6 which I've wasted hours on, is the
property of its ".INDENT" command which means "indent to column <mumble>"
rather than "indent <mumble> spaces". This might be useful to know.
Also, if you want to do tables with aligned columns using TJ6 and
.nofill mode, you might find the influence of ".spw" near the beginning
of your file remarkable.
