I can send you a copy of what I have:

   A Brief Overview of RMS-11 Internals
   by Phil Stephensen-Payne

It was written to describe RMS on the PDP-11, but the file
organizations are the same.   True, extensions were added
for RMS-32, but this will give you almost all of what you need.

The file is the output from the RUNOFF program, and is formatted
for A4 paper (the author was British).   The file is roughly 363KB.
