None of our Kermit programs support APL characters explicitly, but that
does not necessarily mean you can't use them. In MS-DOS Kermit, for example,
all you need to do is find a PC font for APL and load it (like we already
do for Cyrillic, Hebrew, etc), and then set up the translations between the
host encoding and the font encoding (lots of SET TRANSLATE INPUT commands),
and then create a keyboard map (lots of SET KEY commands). The only
restrictions are that the size of character set may not exceed 256, and
there can be no composition of characters (overstriking).
