                              Kermit Help File

Kermit is a family of programs which perform reliable file transfer between
computers over regular TTY lines.  This file contains the Kermit commands
for the RT-11 version of Kermit.

Command                 Explanation

send            Sends  a file  or  number of files from the  RT-11 to the 
                remote  host.  The name of each file is passed to the remote 
		host in a special control packet, so that the remote  host 
		can  store it  with  the same  name.
                NO wildcarding is allowed.

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 supersceded 
                if file-warning is set OFF; otherwise, a file will be created
		with a name like KERMnn.TMP 

set             Establish  various  system-dependent  parameters, such as max-
                imum packet length,  debbuging mode, transmission delay,  etc.
                Also allows  the  user to specify virtual terminal line parity.

show            Display various system-dependent  parameters  established   by
                the SET command.

connect         Establish a  virtual  terminal  connection  from  the RT-11 to
		a computer hooked up to it through a TTY line.  The connection
                uses the parity defined by the set command.

status          Give information about  the last file transfer; effective baud
                rate, number of ACK's, NAK's, and bad packets, etc.

?               Print help about various options available at a point in
                in a command string.  (ie. set ? will show all options
                available pertaining to set)
