I've encountered one very minor problem in running kermit on a GS; in
fact its strictly more a nuisance and puzzlement then a problem.  I
start up kermit by having a basic startup file with a "PRINT CHR$(4);
"-kermit"" command in it.  That file gets executed automatically by
launching BASIC.SYSTEM from the Finder.  (I don't have whatever it is
you need that someone else referred to that allows old-fashioned binary
programs to be launched directly.)  Exiting from kermit gets me back to
BASIC.SYSTEM.  Typing "bye" to the basic prompt SHOULD get me back to
the finder; however it only does so reliably if I first hit ctrl-reset
at the basic prompt.  I'm posing this as a kermit problem becasue if I
go through the same scenario with ASCII Express as the binary program
instead of kermit I don't have the problem:  typing "bye" to the basic
prompt (after exiting AE) makes a clean exit back to the finder.  Any
clues as to what kermit might be doing (or not doing) that is cleaned up
by ctrl-reset?
