I used VMS to copy them to the console media when I was getting my 
11/780 booted, because that was the most convenient way I had of 
putting files on an RX01 (it has a DEUNA).  The commands listed pretty 
closely mirror what you'd type on the console, or put into 
an "indirect" (aka script) file on the console media.
