This website has a couple of screenshots of InterLISP/65, an implementation of Interlisp for Atari 8-bit micros. Notice the POKE form.
Interlisp (also seen with a variety of capitalizations) is a programming environment built around a version of the Lisp programming language. Interlisp development began in 1967 at Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Massachusetts as BBN LISP, which ran on PDP10 machines running the TENEX operat
"Idle Mode" is a facility of the Medley Interlisp environment that locks the screen and runs a screensaver when the system is idle. The facility, which is documented here, also supports user-developed screensavers:
Although Eurisko is more well known the code of AM, the earlier AI system Authomated Mathematician also by Doug Lenat, is available on GtHub. The code is in Interlisp-10 for the PDP-10 and I haven't tried it under Medley Interlisp.
This 1983 paper reported on the experience with implementing the same applications on three different Lisp systems: Maclisp on a DEC-20, Franz Lisp on a VAX 11/780, and Interlisp-D on a Dolphin workstation. Despite the graphical environment the poor performance of the Dolphin hardware, one of the slowest Xerox D machines, made the Interlisp-D experience worse than other systems.
Modern Medley Interlisp can read and write files where 16 bit character codes are represented as UTF-8 byte sequences or UTF-16 byte-pairs, and convert from and to Unicode codes to equivalent internal Medley codes. For details see:

SAILDART "is an archive of the first Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory derived from its final backup tapes". Lots of historical material since the 1970s, see for example the files of Don Knuth (DEK), John McCarthy (JMC), and Larry Masinter (LMM).
This 1986 paper reported on various extensions and forms of collaboration for the NoteCards hypertext-based idea structuring system. Written in Interlisp, NoteCards was essentially a single user hypermedia environment at first.

In the late 1970s Interlisp was ported to DEC VAX computers under Berkeley Unix. These papers reported on the project and its challenges.

To try out the bitmap editor of Medley Interlisp evaluate (EDITBM (CURSOSRBITMAP)) which edits the bitmap of the mouse pointer. Middle-click on the gray area at the top and select Abort to exit with no changes, otherwise select OK.
