I got a couple of questions for Kermit users out there. I'm asking the list because I haven't had any luck with anybody else yet. I know there's a way to permanently place certain default values into Kermit instead of using a kermit.init file. I think it's by typing in something like this: BSAVE KERMIT,A$xxxx,L$yyyy (x's & y's being the location & length of KERMIT). My problem is this: What are they for KERMIT 3.85?? 2nd question: I'm not having too much luck with setting a different prefix in ProDOS with KERMIT either. Is there some dark hidden secret about this feat of magic?? I lied, I've got a third question too: Who should I contact in order to find out more about the intrincacies of KERMIT. (such as the sending & receiving protocols, defining keys for emulations, etc.) This last question comes from the fact that I'm working on my own personal Kermit-clone for the Apple //gs. (Kind of a GS-Kermit, not to be confused with MS-Kermit). David William Wrage a.k.a. The Frenchman 'I don't have a nifty saying yet, but I'll think of one.....' Address: IRPGMR7@OUACCVMB.BITNET

I have noticed that the SET PREFIX command behaves oddly if a new volume isn't on a DIFFERENT DEVICE than the current volume (if I BRUN Kermit from S6,D1 with a volume of /KERMIT and then swap disks and SET PREFIX /DATA, I get an error -- however, if /DATA is on D2 there's no problem -- also if I BRUN from S6,D2 and /DATA is in D1 SET PREFIX works okay). Since there haven't been howls of complaints, I gather that using SET PREFIX to change directories in a VOLUME doesn't cause any difficulty(?)

Could it be that this happens if you have a prefix set already when you run kermit? I never have a prefix set when I run Kermit -- it's basically run by a one-line STARTUP program and I almost always run it by booting its disk. Do you have a prefix set when you run Kermit?
