And it stalls right there unless I repeatedly hit Ctrl/C...

That happened to me more than once with some older pre-built monitors, then
went away when I did my own install and build of 7.04, so I do not have a
solution, and at the time I hadn't any knowledge about TOPS-10. That does not
mean that now I'm very proficient on it, but...

Upon further investigation, the problem is with OPR.EXE.   It WILL NOT 
execute on my generated monitor.   The one provided with TWONKY works fine 
though.

... Make sure that ORION and other Galaxy processes are all there and that
none of them shows a "^C" or "TO" status (IIRC). Also compare processes
between TWONKY and your installation and see if there are any differences.

OPR is just a client that talks to a daemon process so maybe it just stalls
because the daemon is not working, not responding, or not there. 

Compare contents of SYS:SYSJOB.INI too.

HTH,
