Frank da Cruz wrote a book titled "Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol" that should answer most (if not all) of your questions about the Kermit protocol.

I do not understand what your question is. You should be able to simply issue the command SET PREFIX /volume/directory... from Kermit. If this does not work, send us more information about exactly what you are trying and what the results are. -------------------------------------------------------------------- J.

Douglas Ashbrook (301) 496-5181 >BITNET: JDA@NIHCU ARPA: jda%nihcu.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu Actually under ProDOS you don't even need the A$ and L$. Just boot kermit, set all your prefixes, protocols, etc., then exit to basic and assuming the Kermit program is in the current directory just type "BSAVE KERMIT" and the program will be saved properly. BTW- The only thing I have in my Kermit.init file is 'con' to immediately put me online. Evan Ron Aussenberg / erast1@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu
