Some things that strike me particularly:
- the presence of only one execute bit (a file is either executable or
it isn't!)
- the "@" prompt of the shell
- the blocked paper tape driver
- the fact that ^\ causes an arbitrary non-shell process to core dump
if several are running and DEL (aka ^C) does not exist yet
- the fact that switches don't yet exist (and indeed when passing files
to the B interpreter one must precede them with a hyphen)
I also note the marginal "NO!" next to the statement that the second
argument to 'creat' is the file mode. I wonder what that was about.
