*A


KERMIT is a family of programs that do reliable  file  transfer  between
computers  over  TTY  lines.   These  are  the  commands  for the DEC-10
version.


*EXIT


EXIT    Exit from KERMIT back to the host operating system.


*HELP


HELP    Print instructions on various commands available in KERMIT.


*QUIT


QUIT    Same as EXIT.


*RECEIVE


RECEIVE   Receive a file or file group from  the  remote  host.   If  an
          incoming  file name is not legal, then attempt to transform it
          to  a  similar  legal  name,  e.g.   by  deleting  illegal  or
          excessive  characters.  If the file already exists, it will be
          superceded, unless FILE-WARNING  has  been  set.   If  a  file
          specification is given, the incoming file will be stored under
          that name.


*SEND


SEND      Sends a file or file group from the DEC-10 to the remote host.
          The name of each file is passed to the remote host.  Wild card
          file specifications are allowed, with "*" indicating that  the
          rest  of the file name or extension should match anything, and
          "%" indicating a single character position which should  match
          any character.


*SET


SET       Establish various system-dependent parameters, such as maximum
          packet  length,  dubbuging mode, transmission delay, etc.  The
          following items may be set:


          DEBUGGING [ON | OFF | LOG-FILE file-spec |  NO-LOG-FILE]  Turn
                    debugging  output  on or off, direct it to a file or
                    close the debugging log file.


                    DELAY number of seconds to delay before sending file
                    on console terminal line.


          FILE-BYTE-SIZE [7-bit | 8-bit | seven-bit | eight-bit |  Auto]
                    Set byte size used for files being sent or received.
                    Normal text files should be stored as 7-bit.  Binary
                    files  from  another  system  should be stored using
                    8-bit.  Auto attempts to guess the correct byte size
                    for  files  being  transmitted, and uses 7-bit bytes
                    for received files.


          FILE-WARNING [ON | OFF]  Specify  whether  a  file  should  be
                    superceded  if  a file by the same name is received.
                    If FILE-WARNING is ON, files will not be superceded.
                    Instead,  a new name will be created by substituting
                    an extension of 001 (or 002, ..., until a good  name
                    is found).


          LINE [device:  | node::  line number] Set the terminal line to
                    perform  transfers on to be device:  or the terminal
                    on the given line number  of  the  given  node  (for
                    network terminals).


          PARITY [EVEN | ODD | MARK | SPACE | NONE] Set  parity  to  use
                    for  transmitted  data.   All characters transmitted
                    will be given the specified  parity.   If  a  parity
                    other   than   NONE   is   specified,   8-bit   file
                    transmission can  only  be  done  if  both  Kermit's
                    support 8th bit quoting.


          RECEIVE  or  SEND  parameters.   Various  parameters  for  the
                    transmitted and received packets can be set.


*SHOW


SHOW      Display various system-dependent parameters established by the
          SET  command.   The  keyword  argument  indicates  what set of
          parameters to show.


*STATUS


STATUS    Give information about the last file transfer such  as  effec-
          tive baud rate, number of characters, etc.
