Give me a break.  What does processing control-S and control-Q have to
do with whether the incoming character is and-ed with 0177?  Why cant
I have a mode that gives me all eight bits and XON and XOFF processing.
This would be 254 bits processed instead of the normal 126 bits that you
get with LITOUT or RAW off.
