figure out why you don't have the stuff installed in sysgen$:

Oh wait...when you ran the install, did you select the prebuilt
monitor, or to build a monitor at that time?

Prebuilt, does choosing prebuilt not define certain logicals/install certain tools?

  I have never in my life installed a pre-built monitor.   I suspect
what's going on here is that, when installing the pre-built monitor, the
sysgen components (contents of sysgen$:) might not get installed.

  I will verify this here and get back to you shortly.

  Yep, that was it.

  Wow.

  Re-run your installl and select 'A', to build a monitor at
installation time.   Then you should see more stuff when you do "dir
sysgen$:".   (and more importantly "run sysgen$:sysgen" ;))
