>From the KERMIT.BWR file that comes with MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 (which probably
is not much different from the version that came with version 3.13):
(2) INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN MS-DOS KERMIT 3.14 AND EARLIER VERSIONS
1. In version 3.13, the escape sequence that invoked the TERMINALR/S macros
was changed to control screen writing direction (details in KERMIT.UPD),
for compatibility with newer VT terminals. Any host software that sent
the TERMINALR/S sequences will need to be converted to send APC sequences.
See KERMIT.UPD and the WordPerfect section of this file.
The alluded-to texts explain exactly what to do. You'll also need new Kermit
INI files for WordPerfect/UNIX -- these are available too.
