[Simh] going back to the VAX console with CTRL P

[Mark Pizzolato]

Anyone is absolutely free to do what you suggest in their own configuration file.

Changing the default simh behavior at this time would break all of the existing configurations that currently exist in the field.  Not a good idea.

It would make sense to add some conditional code so when a VAX emulator is compiled Ctrl-P is set as the console interrupt character. Ctrl-E is used when line editing.

If you insist on using CTRL P, you can have:

DEPOSIT WRU 10

Somewhere early in your configuration file.

Or you could merely use the simh default WRU character of CTRL E.

At the sim> prompt you can deposit into various registers and then CONTINUE...
