Hi all,

I'm trying to access a Unix based application through MSKermit 3.14 under
vt320 emulation. The app uses line-draw characters to draw boxes on the
screen, but the boxes keep showing up with lower-case letters instead of
line-draw chars. Kermit uses the Latin1 char set, DOS uses cp850 and
everything is set to 8 bits.

The application uses DEC SS2 as single-shift-out character, i.e., the top-line
of a box is sent as:

    {0x9b}7;5H{0x8e}l{0x8e}q{0x8e}q{0x8e}q{0x8e}q{0x8e}q{0x8e}k

Kermit simply ignores the 0x8e's.  How do I tell kermit to process them
and put the appropriate line-draw char on the screen?
