My host is also a Multics system, like Dockmaster, and there's a very
simple fix for the loss of # while uploading.  # is Multics's default
"erase" character, as @ is its default "kill-line" character.  When I'm
uploading a text file, I first issue the command
          stty -modes ^erkl

This command turns off erase and kill processing in the terminal-input.
Any occurrences in the input of the current erase and kill characters
are taken literally and passed straight through to the file.  When done,
I tell it
          stty -modes erkl
 to turn erase/kill processing back on.
