Files that start with "HPHP48-x" are binary files and need to be downloaded
in binary mode with Kermit and then sent to the calculator in binary mode.
If you did not download the files from the BBS in binary mode, you will
have to download them again.  When you escape back to your system to
issue the "RECEIVE" command, type "SET FILE TYPE BINARY" or
"SET TYPE BINARY".  If neither of those work in your Kermit, then look
through the help files.
