First, if Kermit is built into the HP calculator then you can run
MS-DOS Kermit on the PC and move files back and forth naturally. HP48
calculators, in particular, work well this way.
On the other hand, if the calculator lacks a Kermit program, and it
has the ability to be programmed enough to make a primative Kermit, then a
good place to start is purchasing a copy of the rule book: "Kermit, a file
transfer protocol" by Frank da Cruz, ISBN 0-932376-88-6, also available from
Columbia University. In addition to presenting the Kermit protocol
specifications the book has a BASIC program implementing a very simplified
version of the Kermit protocol.
