     I just recently (i.e. yesterday) downloaded, uncompressed, and unarchived 
the KERMIT 3.87 software on a //c running under Prodos.  Everyting seems fine,
except that several of the programs crash when they start and others when they
exit.  Specifically, the configure kermit program dies when it tries to exit
with some sort of Prodos "BYE" command.  However, Prodos doesn't seem to recog-
nize that command and complains.  Is there such a command in a few versions of
Prodos (and there are a lot of versions...) or should it have been installed
by another routine in the KERMIT startup software?
     Also, some SYS programs, such as READ.ME and INSTALL.KERMIT, crash shortly
after they are loaded into memory by Prodos, without any output beyond the 
usual display when machine code crashes.  
     Beyond these few problems, everything seems to work.  I can BRUN KERMIT
directly, and it works fine.  Has anyone else had these problems, or is it
just me?  Better yet, does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks in advance
Collin Rich
