> Kermit uses Applesoft hooks to do file I/O
 
Applesoft doesn't have any "hooks" to do file I/O... that's all handled 
by DOS 3.3 or BASIC.SYSTEM (ProDOS).
 
It's possible that Kermit was designed to determine which OS was 
installed and then run under either by having separate "drivers" for 
the two OS's.  (I am using the term "drivers" here very loosely... I 
mean routines that open, close, etc files under the two OS's.)  But it 
wouldn't be done by calling Applesoft routines.
