You also have more RSTS/E experience than I do, so I may be missing something really obvious.

Yes, I started with RSTS/E ~25 years ago...but this is an extremely
simple setup, right off the install tape.   For the life of me I cannot
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.
