It is time to ask for help.  I have forgotton more than I ever knew 
about using RSX.  Anyway, using the wonderful PDP11GUI I have imaged an 
RL02 pack to my PC.  I have downloaded a running RSX11m image.

I want to look at my imaged disk to see how it looks. Using SIMH I did 
the following commands:

============================================
PDP-11 simulator V3.8-2 (JH stdio telnet)
sim> set cpu 11/93, 4M
Disabling CR
Disabling RK
Disabling HK
Disabling TM
sim> set cpu idle
sim> set rq0 rd54
sim> attach rq0 rsx11mplus_4_6_bl87.dsk
sim> set rl0 rl02
sim> attach rl0 RSX11-bu.rl02
sim> b rl0

SAV -- SOFTWARE CONFIGURED FOR ENABLE HARDWARE WHICH DOES NOT RESPOND.  
HALTED.
HALT instruction, PC: 126272 (BR 126270)
sim>
============================================

So then I try:

============================================
sim> b rq0



RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6  BL87   2044.KW  System:"RSXMPL"
 >RED DU:=SY:
 >RED DU:=LB:
 >RED DU:=SP:
 >MOU DU0:"RSX11MPBL87"
 >@DU:[1,2]STARTUP
 >;                      PLEASE NOTE
 >
....
 >QUE BAP0:/AS:BATCH
 >@ <EOF>
 >

===============================================

I think that I should be something like use pip to do something like :
pip [*,*]* /li or something, but I got into trouble real quick.

Do I need to mount the RL02 for the system to see it?
If I want to list the files on the RL02 image what command would I use?

Any help appreciated.

Sincerely,
John Welch
