Not a bug, but a misunderstanding.  What pre-5.nnn versions of VLT
called a Kermit BYE was really a Kermit FINISH (exit server, but leave
me logged in).  The Kermit BYE menu item on VLT now does a real BYE.

I suspect, Allan, that you forgot to tell VLT that you were running a
server on the remote end.  Select the "External Protocol Setup" menu
item from the "Protocol" menu.  Hit the "Kermit Options" button on the
requester you'll get.  On the second requester, click the "Yes" (or
"On", I forget which) button next to "Host Is Server."  When you do
a Receive command next, you should get a string requester asking for
the name of the file you wish to get from the remote host.

BTW, "Kermit Finish" is also an available button on the first XPR
Kermit requester.
