Thanks to Murph Sewall, I managed to get Kermit 3.85 installed last night, 
without so much as a single disk grind.  Apparently the secret is to use 
Kermit on a DOS 3.3 disk to download the two files (APP385.1 and APP385.2)
directly to a DOS 3.3 disk, and then install them.  I had been downloading
with a ProDOS Kermit and using CONVERT from the old ProDOS User's Disk to
transfer the files to DOS 3.3.  Note that the Kermit executable file runs on
either ProDOS or DOS; there really aren't two different versions.
