Well, the Kermit 95 and MS-DOS Kermit scan codes are different. After a
lot of head-scratching, we decided the better course was to stick with the
codes that are returned by the system, rather than mapping them to the
MS-DOS Kermit equivalents. This allows a lot more flexibility and, perhaps
more important, independence from differing keyboards (e.g. national ones)
and keyboard drivers.
However, if you look in the KEYMAPS subdirectory, you'll find most of what
you are after:
VT220.INI, which sets up a complete VT200/300 (LK201) key map.
EMACS.INI, which sets up EMACS bindings including Alt=Meta.
