When I was a student at Rose-Hulman, we had a utility called AOF - An Operator's Friend.  It was a VT friendly utility that kept a SYSTAT screen running and allowed you to do certain things with the jobs showing up by moving the cursor to the intended job and pressing various keys that started the operation.  I wonder if it was based on this cusp.  This was around 1978-1981 running on RSTS/E V7 and possibly V6C.  I may have gotten a copy of it when I left, but all my tapes were erased by accident by an operator at job I had later on.
