So maybe KED doesn't think my terminal can display the graphics characters, and so doesn't send the escape sequences? I didn't think KED was quite that smart though...
Thinking about Anton's and your suggestions about 8 bit cleanliness, I updated /opt/pidp11/systems/rt11/boot.ini to add
set tto 7b
and that fixed it, hurray! Thanks! It also fixed that mysterious untouchable letter "a" as the last character of my file (it's supposed to be a patterned block character that shows the end of the file). I don't actually understand why that change works - the simh manual says the default is 8b, which means "no changes", while 7b clears the high-order bit, but anyway it works.
I think it would be reasonable to update the boot.ini file in the distribution with that option. What's the proper way to request that?
