Well NETLANDERS, I got several suggestions from Ken and Murph, but am 
still unable to get KERMIT385 working on my Apple IIE. Some added 
information may be helpfull.

First, I'm downloading the file from a UNIX machine. I have tried to 
download the files after resetting the port, using stty -onlcr. This 
seems to have had no effect. This was to try and eliminate the potential
for having lines start with a "space" or "new line".

Next I edited the app385.1 and app385.2 files on the UNIX machine to
eliminate the lines that might have only a space and <cr> on them, 
removing the space only. I then downloaded the files again after 
resetting the port as described above. Still not successful.

Next I tried downloading the files using umodem's -st option instead 
of the -sb option. Again no success.

In all cases, when I "EXEC app385.1" the computer shows the Applesoft
prompt (]) on the screen, followed by a "\", and then several "beeps". 
It does this maybe 50 - 75 times and then gives me the Applesoft prompt
again. When I "BSAVE KERMIT385,A$1000,L$6E00" the file gets saved to disk
okay. But when I "BRUN KERMIT385" basically nothing happens. 

Once when I "BRUNed KERMIT385" I got dumped into the monitor with a 
message something like "0C05 - A=14 X=98 Y=E1 P=35 8=EA". Most other 
times, I haven"t gotten anything on the screen, except after the disk
drive whirrs for several seconds, and the computer appears to be trying
to do something, I get the Applesoft prompt back, as if KERMIT385 has 
finished.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I'M DOING  WRONG ???
