    use of a smart terminal, there’s a good chance it wants something
    else, such as a [Tek 4010][t4010] series terminal. These ANSI screen

    commands, attaching the simulator to the local console. The `pidp8i
    stop` command becomes a no-op, since stopping the simulator is then
    done in the standard SIMH way: <kbd>Ctrl-E, quit</kbd>.

Note that the alternative screen managers are not installed by default.
If you set `SCREEN_MANAGER=tmux`, you must then ensure that `tmux` is in
fact installed before the `pidp8i` script goes to try and use it. On
