George, I don't know why the console is behaving this way, but since you
are IPL-ing CMS on OPERATOR, you can put a couple of CMS "CLRSCRN"
commands in the PROFILE EXEC at the appropriate places and see if that
doesn't get what you want.

The SET RUN ON command has nothing to do with how the console behaves;
it just instructs CP to let your virtual machine execute instructions
while an outstanding CP READ is waiting for a response.

So, despite these problems, how do you like VM?  :-)
