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

[Johnny Billquist]

I think the key concept was "the simulator does not stop". Essentially, 
be able to give commands to simh while the simulated system continues 
running. Which would be a nice thing to be able to do when you just want 
to change which tape or disk is attached, for example.
