  Quite often I've got to transfer files between a PC and a UNIX-based
SUN. Usually, I use the Kermit protocol in Procomm+ and one thing
really bugs me. Kermit uses N8-settings, while the UNIX-connection is
based on E7 - this means, that Kermit doesn't work under the same
conditions as the normal connection.

  To get around this, I've got to change the settings in Procomm from E7
to N8 after issuing the remote (on SUN) Kermit-command and before
activating the download-command (on the PC) and afterwards, I've got
to change it back to E7.

  Since nobody I've spoken to knows of any way of reconfiguring
Kermit, I thought of making a macro in Procomm+ to do the Alt-P,
Alt-E, Esc, PgDn, 2 sequence needed to download ... *but*; Procomm+
(of course) won't let me use it's special keys (like Alt-P) in a macro :-(

  So, what am I to do? Is it possible to change Kermit's behaviour? Is
is possible to make the macro otherwise, perhaps by means of some
fancy TSR that I don't know of (;-) ?

  Any ideas are very much appreciated.
