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.

Cheers,
Chuck
