Jon:
   The Kermit/ini file is the file that holds the default attributes
for Kermit that you want to be loaded in when you boot the program.
 
If you wanted your own defaults (like 80 col mode, 1200 baud, 7-2-E or
8-1-E, etc) you can set them after you boot the program and then
SAVE (Methinks it's the command) the defaults.  I found out by experience
that the program will NOT boot without that file!
 
While we're on the subject, does anyone know if the Kermit protocal on
that automatically converts from ASCII to C= Ascii??  I've gotten several
trashed text files from using it.  ANyone else had that problem?
