        It's version-dependent.  0.9(40) does not have a menu item or key
to send a break, but later ones (0.9(57) and 0.9(63)) do.  Kermit's
emulation is, of course, very good.

        Other terminal programs that will send a break are Red Ryder,
White Knight, and ZTerm.

        Incidentally, does anyone have a reason why every VT100/101
emulator I've seen do not support the double-high or double-width
character sets?  What are the technical problems involved?
