After reopening TYO in '(ECHO) and TYI in '(ECHO FIXNUM) (the latter to
be able to tyi the full char set), rettyconsing TYI & TYO, resetting
the tty prescan, (sometimes) moving all the interrupt functions (whew!),
(TYI) returns the right number including the bucky bits, but (TYI TYI) 
barfs about TYI not being an Ascii file object. (IN TYI) barfs about TYI
not being a binary input file.  How the hell can this be?

Of course, (CAR (SYSCALL (+ 1 (LSH (+ %TINWT %TIFUL %TIACT) 18.)) 'IOT TYI))
does the right thing.

There must be a better way .....
