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

[Richard Cornwell]

Hi Mark,

  It does but is cumbersome. If all I want to do is attach or detach a
  device or change a setting I have to connect up to the remote port
  and issue the command. Would be nice just to hit ^E execute the
  commands I want and then ^E to get back to simulator.
