KEY MACROS

Key macros are executed while in CONNECT mode. If you assign the \Khangup verb
to a key, Kermit remains in CONNECT mode after the hangup takes place.  On a
serial dialup connection, Kermit turns off the DTR signal, and you should see
a confirmation message from the modem, such as NO CARRIER, on your screen.  On
a TCP/IP network connection, however, Kermit does indeed drop the connection,
but since Kermit is still in CONNECT mode, it is immediately reestablished.
If you want to terminate a network session by pressing a key, use a method
that leaves CONNECT mode.  You can do this by defining a macro to hang up, and
then assigning execution of the macro to the key, e.g. Alt-d:

  define xxx hangup
  set key \2336 {\Kxxx}

This causes Kermit to return from CONNECT mode and execute the macro without
returning to CONNECT mode.  This technique works for both serial and network
connections.

To assign several verbs to a single key, use braces as in this example:

  set key \315 {\{Kgold}\{KdecF13}}

or this:

  set key \315 {\{Kfoo}\{Kdump}\{Kbar}}

in which "foo" and "bar" are macro names, and \Kdump is Kermit's screen-dump
verb.
