Here's a trivia challenge:

Which of the following were legitimate MPE commands, and
what do they do?


:SETLOCK
:LOADER
:CHART
:WAITOP
:SHOWCHARGES
:USE
:CEASE
:LISTCOM
:BUILDCOM
:ADDCOM
:PURGECOM
:TASK
:SHOWTASK
:ABORTTASK
:LOADINT
:UNLOADINT
:DISCONNECT

Ok, I feel like a nubie. The only one that I remotely recognize are "USE" and
"CEASE", but there :SEGMENTER commands & not MPE.  The earliest reference I've
got is a MPE III Software Pocket Guide dated April 1978. My personal experience
starts around '82.

WAITOP sounds familiar, but I'm clueless on the rest...
