[Simh] Potential design for 'real time' controls

[Tim Riker]

Sounds like a Good Thing to me.

Is there a reason to avoid just adding the same simh> prompt when tty is 
conencted to telnet?

Some commands would not be allowed as you discussed, but the interface 
would be consistant. There would be a new "STOP" command perhaps to 
replace "^E" but that's easily understood too.

Now I understand the code may not be structured such that this change is 
easy, but it certianly sounds like the right long term goal.

If the version you are proposing without the "simh>" prompt is a step 
towards that end, than by all means, having it sooner is a Good Thing.

I agree that a REWIND would be nice to have. Is there a way to display 
the current file position? (ie: offset from start) "sh con" displays the 
file name, but not the offset as far as I can see,

Also it would be nice to be able to break on device read/write imho. Is 
there a way to do that? There likely is by knowing the port location(s) 
that I've just not figured out yet. ;-)

Did you have any comments on the "step ; e a,b" type interface?

Keep up the good work.
