[Simh] pdp11 - console input with high bit set

I am trying to run an RK11 diagnostic and am stuck.

The diagnostic asks the user how many drives to test and I can get the input to work

Looking at the code, it is looking for digits and then cr.

But it is actually looking for  #215, which is 0x8d. Which is CR with the high bit set. (It also looks for #377 del with HB set)

So what happens is that it just keeps reprompting

I don't see how that character ever gets into the system. I did 'set tti 8b' but it made no difference. I can post the relevant code if needed.
