All attempts to send mail to medin@nosc.mil have resulted in an
error message from on the nosc systems, so I will post below a
couple of comments on kermit382.  Maybe other user can shed some 
light on the problems.

The first appears to be a bug in the vt100 emulation in the way 
kermit processes TABs.  Specifically, multiple tabs, without
intervening text, will only move the cursor to the first tab stop.
A couple of examples (^I represents a TAB and X a text entry):

0123456789012345678901234567890
^I      X^I     X^I     X       (this works fine)
^I^I^I  X                       (this is how kermit displays)
^I^I^I                  X       (this is the correct display)

The second sounds like it may be fixed in the beta version that Murph
Sewall announced: I would like the EXit command to issue a ProDOS
quit command instead of leaving me in basic.  I select kermit from
Prosel and would like to return there upon leaving kermit.  Being 
basically lazy, I don't want to have to exit with EXit then type BYE.

(Note to Ted Medin: please call back to the North San Diego Apple Club
BBS (619/571-9010).  You have mail waiting for you.  I would like to 
determine why all my uucp mail to you errors when it gets to shark.)
