In this manual from 1973:
https://web.mit.edu/saltzer/www/publications/TRs+TMs/Multics/TR-123.pdf

Page 136 has a login session and 153 does have a "list" example, which
shows the access  (e.g. "re "), a number, then short filenames.  I've read
different stories on whether it supported 24 characters or 36 (in contrast
to early unix 14 character and VMS 39 characters).

But I was hoping for something more contemporary, an actual photo of some
sort.   But yes, simh would be a backup option when I get back to some
equipment that can run it.
