[Simh] Using the simh LGP-30 emulator

[Bob Supnik]

A really valuable tutorial. It's also the first proof that the LGP30 
simulator sort-of works; I'm relieved.

Shoehorning the LGP30's operating procedures into SimH's default syntax 
was difficult. It might have been better to use the 'simulator-defined 
command' capability to  create a set of LGP30 specific commands. But 
there isn't much user interest in this ancient beast, so I'd as soon let 
sleeping dogs lie.
