When I used the VT320 emulation I got the display I wanted. There is one
trick I had to use which I'll mention even though it might be specific to
my computer (Zenith-158) or programs (MS-DOS 3.1 and Kermit 3.0). If I
set Kermit to VT320 before I put it into terminal mode for the first time
(that is, before I have given a CONNECT or REPLAY command), I see the
8-bit characters when I do put it in terminal mode even if I later change
the emulation setting to VT102. If Kermit is set to VT102 the first time
I use CONNECT or REPLAY, I see only 7-bit characters even if I later change
the emulation setting to VT320.
