Thanks for all the response I got on this.  Eight respondents so far,
with many useful comments.  I probably don't need any more advice,
until I have had time to make some more mistakes.  Thanks to all.

When I get done, I'll be happy to post a note to that effect, and
send a summary then to anyone who would like it.

That sounds like the best advice:
When in doubt,
READ THE DIRECTIONS.

I haven't been using MLOAD or LASM.  Sounds like they are worth
having.

Ans: My system is a Z-80, SD-Systems, SBC-200 (or -300 .. I can't
remember).  256 KBy RAM, incl. 192K as a RAMDisk.  All that's
generic, of course.  The adaptation I meant was for my serial-
port addresses and flags (SSM-I/O4 --anyone remember SSM?), and for
the Adds Viewpoint terminal.  That's a traditional, unbreakable
CP/M _boat_anchor_, in other words.

When I patched my existing Kermit source, I added conditionals for
the cursor and screen control codes, sim. to the structure for the
Superbrain, Heath, etc..

I expect I will now write a short definition file of some kind, or
patch the *.asm for some similar industry-standard terminal.

I left most of the details out here -- just wanted to say 'Thanks'
to the numerous people who responded to my request.

Regards --jmm--
