sure can't remember where it was. does anyone remember?
(by "background kermit", i mean a process on the pc which will

I am using Kermit with the MS-Windows, and it will up/download and
running programs at the same time while you are doing somethings else with
your PC! This is *close* to multi-tasking or time shearing. The parameter to
set up Kermit with MS-Windows is set memory to 200K (I think) and takes all
the option off the key-board, screen, and memory modify. And just have text
mode on! (ie. you can't use the TEK option, due to the memory problem,
unless you have an EEMs or something likes that...).
I hope this is what you are looking for!...

This is *close* to multi-tasking or time shearing. It does work mostly, so long as you keep a VERY light finger on your ALT-key. Watch KERMIT screech to a halt if you hold down the ALT key while you decide what you want to type next. I don't have any idea how a mouse affects KERMIT running in the background, though. -- --==---==---==-- .. Beware the Jubjub bird, ..
