Yes, the PF keys are supported.  The numeric keypad on the A500 & A2000 (guess
the A3000 as well) match the VT100 keypad exactly as long as the keymap usa1 is
present (via SetMap).  Don't know enough about WB 2.0 yet to comment on it.  The
A1000 lacks four of the keys that the others have so I mapped the first four
fuction keys to the PF keys.  You can override these defaults by declaring a 
macro for the corrosponding function key.

As soon as I finish the 1.01 release I will begin work on 1.1 which will add
XPR support.  Kermit is more or less at the mercy of the capabilities of any
Kermit XPR library.  How many and how capable they are, I can't say, maybe 
someone else can.
