* CHANGING FILE TRANSFER PARAMETERS

SET ATTRIBUTES { ON, OFF } = ON
  Enable/Disable processing of file attribute packets.

SET ATTRIBUTES { DATE, LENGTH, TYPE, CHARACTER-SET } { ON, OFF } = ON
  Enable/Disable processing of specific file attributes.

SET BLOCK-CHECK { 1, 2, 3 } = 1
  Level of error checking, 1 by default, 3 is strongest.

SET BLOCK-CHECK BLANK-FREE-TWO
  Like SET BLOCK-CHECK 2, but formats the block check characters such that
  they never include blanks.

SET CONTROL-CHARACTER UNPREFIXED { <code>..., ALL }
  Says you think it is safe to include the control character represented by
  <code> without prefixing in packets that Kermit sends.  The <code> is the
  numeric ASCII code for a control character, 0-31, 127-159, or 255.

SET CONTROL-CHARACTER PREFIXED { <code>..., ALL }
  Says that the given control character(s) must be prefixed in outbound Kermit
  packets.  By default, all control characters, 0-31, 127-159, and 255, are
  prefixed.

SET DEBUG PACKETS
  Display packets on screen during file transfer.

SET DEBUG OFF
  Turn off display of packets.

SET DESTINATION { DISK, PRINTER, SCREEN } = DISK
  Direct incoming files to the specified device.

SET FILE DISPLAY { SERIAL, REGULAR, QUIET } = REGULAR
  Format of Kermit's file transfer display.  Use SERIAL for hardcopy terminals,
  Braille devices, speaking devices, etc.  QUIET means no display at all (used
  automatically in remote mode).  Synonym: SET DISPLAY.

SET EOF { CTRL-Z, NOCTRL-Z } = NOCTRL-Z
  Whether Ctrl-Z marks the end of a PC DOS text file.

SET FILE TYPE { TEXT, BINARY } = TEXT
  TEXT implies record format conversion and character set translation.	Use
  BINARY to send or receive files with no conversaion at all.

SET FILE COLLISION { DISCARD, OVERWRITE, RENAME }
  What to do when a file arrives that has the same name as an existing file:
    RENAME    = Automatically give the arriving file a unique name (default).
    OVERWRITE = Overwrite the existing file with the new file.
    DISCARD   = Reject any file that has the same name as an existing file.

SET FILE CHARACTER-SET { CP437, CP850, CP852, CP860, CP861, CP862, CP863,
			 CP865, CP866, SHIFT-JIS }
  Tell Kermit which IBM PC code page to use when sending or receiving a text
  file.	 Default is your current PC code page as DOS reports it to Kermit (but
  watch out, DOS tends not to report code pages correctly).  Kermit translates
  between the current file character set and the transfer character set.
  SHIFT-JIS is Code Page 932 for Japanese Kanji.

SET TRANSFER CHARACTER-SET { TRANSPARENT, LATIN1, LATIN2, CYRILLIC,
			     HEBREW, JAPANESE-EUC }
  Tell Kermit the character set used in Kermit packets.	 TRANSPARENT, the
  default, means no translation.  LATIN1 is ISO Latin Alphabet 1, useful for
  transferring text in West European languages containing accented Roman
  letters with other Kermit programs that support this feature.	 LATIN2 is ISO
  Latin Alphabet 2, for Eastern European languages and can be used only with
  file character-set CP852.  CYRILLIC is ISO 8859-5 Latin/Cyrillic, and can be
  used only with file character-set CP866.  HEBREW is ISO 8859-8 Latin/Hebrew.
  JAPANESE-EUC is for Japanese Kanji and can be used only with FILE
  CHARACTER-SET SHIFT-JIS.  Synonym: SET XFER CHARACTER-SET.

SET TRANSFER LOCKING-SHIFT { OFF, ON, FORCED } = ON
  If PARITY is other than NONE, Kermit automatically uses a locking-shift
  technique for transferring 8-bit more efficiently over the 7-bit connection.
  To turn off this feature, use OFF.  To force the use of this feature even
  when parity is NONE, use FORCED.  Locking shift protocol is negotiated
  automatically with the other Kermit.  Synonym: SET XFER LOCKING-SHIFT.

SET TRANSFER TRANSLATION { READABLE, INVERTIBLE } = READABLE
  The default is READABLE, which optimizes character-set conversion for
  "readability", rather than invertibility.  INVERTIBLE gives a unique
  translation for each character between the FILE CHARACTER-SET and the
  TRANSFER CHARACTER-SET.  Synonym: SET XFER ...

SET UNKNOWN-CHARACTER-SET { DISCARD, KEEP } = KEEP
  What to do when a file arrives that has an unknown character set.

SET FILE WARNING { ON, OFF, NO-SUPERSEDE } = ON
  Obsolete synomym for SET FILE COLLISION.

SET INCOMPLETE { KEEP, DISCARD } = DISCARD
  What to do with a file that does not arrive completely.

SET RETRY <number> = 5
  How many times to retry a particular packet before giving up on the file.

SET TIMER { ON, OFF } = ON
  Enable/Disable timeouts and retransmissions during file transfer.

SET WINDOW <num> = 1
  Number of sliding window packet slots.  Sizes greater than 1 can be used
  only with other Kermit programs that supports sliding windows.  Improves
  transmission efficiency on long-delay or noisy connections.

SET SEND (or RECEIVE) <parameter> <value>
  START-OF-PACKET <num> = 1  packet begin character, normally Ctrl-A
  END-OF-PACKET <num> = 13   packet end character, normally carriage return
  PACKET-LENGTH <num> = 94   packet length; 9024 max; > 94 for "long packets"
  PAUSE <num> = 0	     Interpacket pause, milliseconds
  TIMEOUT <num> = 5	     Timeout interval waiting for a packet, seconds
  PADDING <num> = 0	     How many padding characters before each packet
  PADCHAR <num> = 0	     Padding character to use
  DOUBLE-CHAR <num>	     Double packet character <char> when sending.
  IGNORE-CHAR <num>	     Discard <char> from packets when receiving.

Use SHOW FILE, SHOW PROTOCOL to examine current file transfer settings.
