I've encountered one very minor problem in running kermit on a GS; in fact its strictly more a nuisance and puzzlement then a problem. I start up kermit by having a basic startup file with a "PRINT CHR$(4); "-kermit"" command in it. That file gets executed automatically by launching BASIC.SYSTEM from the Finder. (I don't have whatever it is you need that someone else referred to that allows old-fashioned binary programs to be launched directly.) Exiting from kermit gets me back to BASIC.SYSTEM. Typing "bye" to the basic prompt SHOULD get me back to the finder; however it only does so reliably if I first hit ctrl-reset at the basic prompt. I'm posing this as a kermit problem becasue if I go through the same scenario with ASCII Express as the binary program instead of kermit I don't have the problem: typing "bye" to the basic prompt (after exiting AE) makes a clean exit back to the finder. Any clues as to what kermit might be doing (or not doing) that is cleaned up by ctrl-reset? TMPLee@Dockmaster.arpa
