Today I created a variable A->B (with -> being the 141 decimal symbol) and
stored a 0 in it.  I then used the Kermit that came with the HP IBM-PC
serial cable kit and used it to receive the object A->B.  I put the PC
in server mode, and put the name 'A->B' on the HP stack and used the HP
SEND command to send it.  The Kermit program claimed to be receiving the
file: AiB (the i was actually the i with the grave accent over it) and
it also claimed it was saving the file into MS-DOS file AXB (apparently
changing the grave accented i into an X).

Upon exitting Kermit and typing out the file, it in fact had:
%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
0

This was done in ASCII mode, at 9600 baud, no parity, with checksum mode
3 and translate code 3.
