On an xterm session, there may not be a way to do it.  If you were
running simh from a dumb terminal on a serial port, you could set your
terminal to do 7E1 (even parity), and possibly a matching  "stty
parenb -parodd" , but the arg 'parenb' appears not to be valid from a
window session.

Does "set tti 7p" work for this?
