Hello,

I didn't want to be boring and create a philosophical discution. It was a naïve question.

And in fact, I could do what I wanted to do (ask for softint #14 to initiate xdelta debugger) by program.

simh console and VAX emulated console have not same syntax to interact with registers, and getting simh console with a ctrl p doesn't give a VAX console, but a simh console (where some similar things can be done, but not with similar syntax).

And I was already using telnet console to separate simh initiator (the context where I launch simh and do the do somefile.ini) and VAX emulated console. In this organization the (telnet) Vax console does'nt see any ctrl e or ctrl p, which are seen in the simh initiator context. So the problem persists.

But don't worry about that, there are other ways to do what I need.

You should try using the remote console:

        sim> SET REMOTE TELNET=port

Boot you simulator.

And from another window, telnet to the remote console port.
You can directly enter many commands and get their response with the simulator 
still running OR if you want to stop instruction execution you can type the WRU 
character (CTRL E) and enter a series of commands with instruction execution 
suspended which will you can CONTINUE or if you wait a while it will CONTINUE 
automatically...

Does this solve the problem you were thinking of?
