Fellas,
	First, loss of "meta-characters" most likely means the host (a VAX,
right?) is sending 8-bit controls because Kermit is announcing itself as
a VT300 level terminal but you still have the default SET DISPLAY 7 engaged
(which chops the high bit). Try SET DISPLAY 8.
	Second, the place to find new editions of Kermit is on the Columbia
archive machine: anonymous ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu, or Bitnet to
pseudo user KERMSRV on machine CUVMA or CUVMB.
	Then lastly, version 3.10 appears this week. Version 3.02 was strictly
a development number and has now gone away. We are working on the announcment
and other supporting material at this moment (with timeout to read News,
natch).
