[comp.sys.cbm] Kermit V2.0

I  was using Kermit v2.0 and wanted to format a disk.  If I 
included any spaces in this disk name I got a 'not confirmed'
message.  In fact I couldn't  get several of the non-alpha characters
to work.  I tried the ' and . as space holders with out success.
The command would work with a single word as a disk name.

Any suggestions?  I would hate to exit Kermit just to get me
a fancy disk name.  I guess I could always rename it later.

PS.  Kermit has worked great so far.  Greate work.  Also is
there anyway I can change the del key to be a back space? :~}

I lied the ' did work.

@begin{flushright}Kermit V2.0 emulates a vt100 (as well as vt52).  I have
used it without any problems for some time, including with emacs, rogue,
hack, and other applications which do text highlighting, reverse video,
underlining, etc.  It worked flawlessly.  Give it a try!  It's public domain,
and can be found somewhere on CU20B (Columbia University) on the network.
