RSTS was one of the first systems I hacked.
We used to make changes to the kernel on disk (like non-priving
the peek() statement), then crash it. The operators would reboot
and the changes would take effect.
Hey, I was in college at the time.

IIRC (and most times I don't), you wrote print files to disk
and used the 'que' program to send it to the system print queue.
You may also be able to open 'lp0:' and write directly.
