I have copies of that, and bitsavers has

However, those are all for the free base and don't cover the changes for TSO/E.

I'm sure you're right about the supplied TMP(s), but there was the guide to
writing your own. Harry Mernick at Nasty Wetmonster Bank recommended it to
me. I eventually found one in a bin/dumpster and took it home, but it was
lost years later during /the unpleasantness/ :-(
Roops
p.s. Found
it!
GC28-6764-2_TSO_Guide_to_Writing_a_Terminal_Monitor_Program_or_a_Command_Processor_OS_Release_21.6_Aug1972.pdf
is pretty old, but will have most of the good stuff.
