OK.  That doesn't jive with  CTRL-e c f.  Regardless, it doesn't
work.

CTRL is a modifier key AFAIAC.  It doesn't typically function as a key
value by itself.  According to the console help:

| Executing CO command from the main MP menu provides a mirrored version of the
| OS console.  All users connected to the console see the same output. Verify
| that all mirrored consoles are of the same terminal type for proper
| operation. Only one of the mirrored users at a time has write access to the
| console. Any user can get write access to the console, by typing CTRL-e c f
| (not CTRL-e CTRL-c CTRL-f).  Write access is retained until another user 
| requests console write access.

I read that as: CTRL-E, lowercase letter key [c], followed by lowercase
letter key [f].

No matter what I enter, I get:

 [Read only - use Ctrl-Ecf for console write access.]

returned.
