Am I the only one who actually used one of these and hated it? I had
one hooked to an MDS800 development system. For the time, they were
inexpensive, but there were better terminals around--and the use of a
displayable character (tilde) as the escape code leadin made things
more trouble than the terminals were worth. I think I may even have
the code for a full-screen editor written in PL/M somewhere.
