It doesn't have to be found -- it's documented in the manual and you get

Let's be very clear about this. You have a PC with NT running Hummingbird
as your terminal emulator. With this you are connected to AIX, where you
are running C-Kermit to connect to yet a third computer:
PC WinNT ______ RS/6000 _____ Some other
Hummingbird C-Kermit computer
Now when you see the following:
: Esc to Exit
: AVAILABLE PROTOCOLS
:
: 1 = kermit
: 2 = xmodem
: 3 = xon/xoff
:
: Which protocol ? [1]
You are looking *through* two computers to a third. Every character you
type is handled first by Hummingbird, which should send it to AIX. Then
C-Kermit gets it, and if it is NOT the escape character (Ctrl-\) it sends
it to the third computer, the one whose menu you are looking at.
If you type Ctrl-\, Esc, 1, or any other character, Hummingbird should send
it and C-Kermit should get it. But I've never even seen Hummingbird so
you'll need to verify this. For all I know, Hummingbird traps Esc and goes
into some bizarre mode after you type it.
If you type Ctrl-\ and C-Kermit gets it, and C-Kermit is still in CONNECT
mode, which it appears to be from the "screen shot" you've enclosed above
unless you've omitted something between the file-transfer display and the
menu, , this is C-Kermit's CONNECT-mode escape character. C-Kermit will now
wait for you to type the "escape-character argument", a second character,
which may be C, Q, U, ?, B, L, etc. I can think of no reason on earth why
Kermit handle Q but not C, other than that you have some other link in the
chain you haven't told us about.
Again, all of these procedures are described in detail in Chapter 8 of the
manual. Also, I'd recommend you visit our Support page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/support.html
that explains the kind of information we need to give effective help.
By the way, please either post to the newsgroup or send email to
kermit-support@columbia.edu, but not both.
