This is part of the MIX system, described in MIX.RES[UP,DOC].
The following are (I think) used by LISP 1.6 and should be listed in that
description, if anywhere. Perhaps WD would be willing to put together the
brief description for the HOW file.

BILLBD Billboard printer Nov. 1966
Programmer: Aram Grayson
Source file: lost (written in Fortran)
Prints BIG on the line printer (one character per page). Upper case only--
no digits or punctuation.
Say "R BILLBD<cr>" then type the message (remember, UPPER CASE) followed by
end-of-file (αβLF).
BUZZ Terminal test 1967
Programmer: JOE
Say "R BUZZ<cr>" then "<character><cr>" and it will type <character> many times.
Say "<character>=" and it types the octal code for <character>. Either kind
of command can be repeated.
DOCTOR Eliza 1968
Programmer: Joe Weizenbaum (MIT)
Documentation: Numerous idiotic articles
Gives non-directive couselling. Say "R DOCTOR<cr>" and it will say
"SPEAK UP!". Thereafter, pretend that you are lying on a Psychiatrist's
couch and type whatever you like (assuming that you can type while lying
down) followed by TWO carriage returns. Everything must be in UPPER CASE.
Multiple-line statements or questions are OK.
P2P Paper tape puncher 1973?
Programmer: RPH
Documentation: P2P.RPH[UP,DOC]
P2P is a program for reading, punching, and comparing paper tapes. As an
added feature it will take any tape that can be loaded with the 20 loader
and punch a readin mode 20 loader at the beginning of it. This allows you
to use the readin switch on the PDP-10 (the one on the PDP-6 doesn't do
the same thing). Also it will punch a test pattern so that you may see if
the punch is dropping any bits.
A2E ASCII to EBCDIC code conversion Jan. 1973
Programmer: Kevin Kay
Documentation: A2E.KK[S,DOC]
A2E is a program for transferring files from the Stanford AI PDP-10 to an
IBM 360 Series machines. It will transfer files written in ASCII from the
PDP-10 to the System/360 and EBCDIC files from the System/360 to the PDP-10 .
SHUFFL Operating System test program
Programmer: ?
Used to test memory management in the timesharing system. Say
R SHUFFL <core>
and this program will compute indefinitely, alternating its core size
between <core> pages and 2 pages. This is intended to drive the operating
system crazy.
CHACK & AMOEBA III display hacks 1969
Programmer: JAM
Log in on a III display, smoke a little grass, type "R CHACK" or "R AMOEBA"
and be dazzled.
