First you have to say what kind of computer you have, what operating
system, which Kermit program, and which version. But in general, the
safest bet is to tell BOTH Kermit programs to "set file type binary".
Yes, there are shortcuts, but you can learn them later.

Which documentation are you referring to? The two most popular Kermit
programs, MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit, each have excellent, professionally
published manuals that are no more technical than you need them to be.
They start out in tutorial fashion geared to novices, and work up to
advanced stuff for those who need it. You can find out about the manuals
by pointing your Web browser at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/, or by
sending an email inquiry to kermit@columbia.edu.
