I have a question about using Kermit on Procomm, Ver. 2.4.2.

When you bringup the setup menu (Alt-S) and then the Kermit Setup Menu (3),
it shows that you can declare a pad character (option 3) and the number
of pad characters (option 4).

My question is this: if you set the number of pad characters to be greater
than zero, what does this mean?  Is the Procomm Kermit then going to place
pad characters on outgoing packets \AND/ expect pad characters on incoming
packets?  Or is it just one or the other?  I have a copy of MS-DOS Kermit
Ver. 2.30 and I can set one or the other by using SET SENT PADDING x or SET
RECEIVE PADDING x where x is the number of pad characters.  But what is
set when you specify pad characters in Procomm Kermit?

I would appreciate any input whatsoever.  Please do not suggest the Procomm
BBS as a place to find out.  I am hoping people on the net can answer my
question quicker and more clearly.  Thanks in advance to anyone that gives
this some effort.
