.SH NAME
cons \- console interface
.SH DESCRIPTION
The console is available to the processor through the console registers.
It acts like a normal terminal, except that when the local functions are
not disabled, control-P puts the console in local console mode (where
the prompt is `>>>').
On an 11/780,
you can return to the conversational mode by
`SE T P' if the processor is still running or `CONTINUE' if it is halted.
On an 11/750,
control-P always halts the processor;
`C' will recover.
.PP
If you hit the break key on an 11/780 console,
the console may go into ODT
(console debugger mode).  Hit a `P' to get out of this mode.
.PP
With the above provisos the console works like any other terminal.
