Dick Atlee was kind enough to send me Kermit 3.76 (which I am using
in VT100 emulation on a //c to enter this message) although he is
missing the most important parts of the documentation (such as which
keystrokes invoke such things as "toggle insert.").  I've managed to
figure out enough by hit or miss to get along a little, although docs
would be nice (if you send them to Dick, he'll send them to me, and if
you send them to me I'll send them to him).

Curious.  The VT100 emulation does not use inverse video to emulate the
alternate character intensity (as does SOFTERM and Jim Haye's DCOM), but
when our System/1 gets a character sequence it doesn't understand IT sends
error messages in inverse video!

The other odd thing is that the program hangs if I use auto repeat (as
in holding down the "cursor down" and trying to run the cursor down the
screen) or if I'm using the "type ahead" (typing while the System/1 one
is displaying).  I do not have that problem with Softerm or DCOM (which use
polling rather than interrupts) or Dick Atlee's Kermit-2A in ADM-3A mode
(which does use interrupts).

I haven't tried a file transfer yet, but other than what's reported above,
I haven't noted any difficulty with the screen display.  What should I
be looking for?
