[Simh] VT100 Support on SimH

[Bill Heaton]

Hi All,

Spend most of the day chasing this one, so I thought I'd mention it so  
that others wouldn't have to chase their tails.

It would appear that in that last half of 2006 a output filter was put  
into the console to lose non-printable characters.  Unfortunately one  
of the characters that is filtered out is ESC, which means that you  
can't use EDT in change mode even if your terminal supports it.

However, the work around is simple as they gave us a way to change the  
filter.   The command: "SET CONSOLE PCHAR=01000023600" turns ESC back  
on.

Under RSTS/E you can then use:  "SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE" to set the  
terminal up.  Reminder:  You terminal will need to be set to something  
that RSTS/E will know about (i.e. VT52 through V340).

Regards, Bill
