There have been a few requests for this lately, so I decided to post it.  See
below.

The 25th line in Kermit currently is addressable by any VT-52/100 escape
sequence that specifically requests the 25th line.  It is not used normally
when scrolling text or etc.  Some programs (text editors mainly) can take
advantage of the extra line though... Ray intends to add a SET LINE-25 toggle
(or something similar) in a future version of Kermit.  For now you can do a
POKE and turn on the 25th line... send me mail for details.

Unix programs like "sysline" can use the 25th line WITHOUT the POKE since they
address the 25th line directly.  All you need is the termcap and you'll be
set.
