Remember that in the days of Teletype, ALTMODE was
character code 175 or
176 (Umm, 7D or 7E for the octally challenged). Hazeltine was using the
ALTMODE character to introduce command codes, as intended. Only later
was ALTMODE redefined to be 033 (1B) = ESCAPE.
Sure, but this was a terminal that was brought out in 1977. X3.4-1968
has 7/14 as a tilde character.
