1 KERMIT

 KERMIT is a file transfer program.  It allows the transfer  of  files
 over  terminal lines from a remote KERMIT program to the local KERMIT
 program.

 KERMIT-32 can be run from SYS$SYSTEM:.  It will then prompt for input
 from SYS$COMMAND:.
2 CONNECT

 The CONNECT command will  allow  you  to  connect  in  as  a  virtual
 terminal.   You  can exit from CONNECT by typing the escape character
 and C, the default escape  character  is  Control-],  octal  35.   An
 example of this command is:

           Kermit-32>CONNECT TTA0:

 Where TTA0:  is the device.
2 EXIT

 The EXIT command will cause KERMIT to return to command level.   This
 command  is the same as the QUIT command.  An example of this command
 is:

           Kermit-32>EXIT
2 QUIT

 This command will cause KERMIT to return to command level.   This  is
 the same as the EXIT command.
2 RECEIVE

 The RECEIVE command is used to recieve a file from the remote KERMIT.
 The format of the command is:

           Kermit-32>RECEIVE file-specification

 Where "file-specification" is any valid VAX/VMS file specification.
2 SET

 The SET command is used to set various parameters in KERMIT.
3 DEBUGGING

 The SET DEBUGGING command is used to set the debug type  out  on  the
 user's  terminal.   The command will accept either the keywords ON or
 OFF.

           Kermit-32>SET DEBUGGING state

 Where state is either 'ON' or 'OFF'.
3 DELAY

 The SET DELAY command sets the delay  that  KERMIT  will  use  before
 attempting to tranmit the data to the remote KERMIT.
3 FILE_TYPE

 This command will set the file type that  KERMIT  is  receiving.   It
 will  assume that you are sending or receiving a text file.  The file
 type BINARY should be used for CP/M .COM files.

           Kermit-32>SET FILETYPE type
4 ASCII

 File type ASCII is for text files.
4 BINARY

 File type BINARY is for non-text  files.   Please  note  that  RMS-32
 files are not transfered correctly, because the attributes are lost.
3 LINE

 This will set the terminal line that you are using.

           Kermit-32>SET LINE device:

 The device must be a terminal line (TTA0:).
3 RECEIVE

 It  is  possible  to  set  various  parameters  associated  with  the
 receiving  of  the  data  from  the  remote KERMIT.  SET RECEIVE will
 enable you to set the various receive parameters.  A full list of the
 parameters follows:
4 PACKET_LENGTH

 This will  set  the  receive  packet  length.   The  value  for  this
 parameter  must be between 10 and 96.  Packet lengths outside of this
 range are illegal.

           Kermit-32>SET RECEIVE PACKETLENGTH 60
4 PADDING

 This command will set the number of padding characters that  will  be
 sent to the remote Kermit.

           Kermit-32>SET RECEIVE PADDING n
4 PADCHAR

 This parameter is the padding character that is sent  to  the  remote
 Kermit.   The  parameter must be an octal number in the range of 0 to
 37 or 177.  All other values are illegal.

           Kermit-32>SET RECEIVE PADCHAR nnn
4 TIMEOUT

 This will set the number of seconds before Kermit-32  will  time  out
 the attempt to receive a message.
4 END_OF_LINE

 This will set the end of line  character  the  Kermit-32  expects  to
 receive from the remote Kermit.
4 QUOTE

 This will set the quoting character that  Kermit-32  will  expect  on
 incoming messages.
3 SEND

 The 'SET SEND' command  will  sent  parameters  associated  with  the
 messages that Kermit-32 sends to the remote system.

           Kermit-32>SET SEND parameter value
4 PACKET_LENGTH

 This will  set  the  sending  packet  length.   The  value  for  this
 parameter  must be between 10 and 96.  Packet lengths outside of this
 range are illegal.

           Kermit-32>SET SEND PACKETLENGTH 60
4 PADDING

 This command will set the number of padding characters that  will  be
 sent to the remote Kermit.

           Kermit-32>SET SEND PADDING n
4 PADCHAR

 This parameter is the padding character that is sent  to  the  remote
 Kermit.   The  parameter must be an octal number in the range of 0 to
 37 or 177.  All other values are illegal.

           Kermit-32>SET SEND PADCHAR nnn
4 TIMEOUT

 This will set the number of seconds before Kermit-32  will  time  out
 the attempt to send a message.
4 END_OF_LINE

 This will set the end of line character that Kermit-32  will  use  to
 send a message to the remote Kermit.
4 QUOTE

 This will set the quoting character that  Kermit-32  will  expect  on
 incoming messages.  2 SEND

 The SEND command will allow you to  send  a  file(s)  to  the  remote
 KERMIT.   The SEND command will allow file wild card processing as is
 found in VMS.  The command format is:

           Kermit-32>SEND file-specification

 Where "file-specification" is any normal VAX/VMS file specification.
2 SERVER

 This command will cause Kermit to  enter  server  mode.   The  remote
 Kermit  can  then  issue  commands  to send and receive files without
 having to give SEND or RECEIVE commands to Kermit-32.
2 SHOW

 The SHOW command will allow you to show the various  parameters  that
 are set with the SET command.
3 ALL

 The SHOW ALL command will cause all of the parameters to be listed.
3 DEBUGGING

 The SHOW DEBUGGING command will print  the  state  of  the  debugging
