[Simh] Terminal Type for Windows CMD ?

[Brian Knittel]

You'll have to use a terminal emulator (HyperTerm might do)
and connect via Telnet. The old ansi.sys carriage control 
driver provided with Windows is available to MS-DOS programs 
only, not 32-bit console programs like SIMH.  Maybe others on 
the list have better ideas, but I'm pretty sure that cursor 
control is not available for the SIMH console window itself,
at least under XP.
