I use Ms-Kermit Version 2.29 for the Z100 (right now, in fact!), and
I'm really pleased with it.  I recently found a testing (?) copy of
2.29C, but even it didn't seem to be able to solve my last "want"!

The Z100 keyboard is the best I've ever seen.  Specifically, it has
the ESC and BREAK keys right where I like them.  I'd like to be able
to use the SET KEY functionality of Kermit to use <ESC> instead of
Control-rightbracket and to use <BREAK> instead of Control-
rightbracket-B.  I often direct-connect to a Micom switch that requires
a triple-break sequence in two seconds to disconnect, and I'm straining
my tendons trying to type ^]B^]B^]B in time.  Probably because I'm a
H&P typist, rather than a real one who uses all of their fingers!

Has anyone figured out a way to do this?  It seems to work OK on the
PC version of Kermit, but if I wanted a PC I'd have one.  Failing a
solution, does anyone know if this might be added to future releases?
