--------------
Transparent printing goes to the DOS PRN device from Kermit. Kermit
does not go to the physical printer itself nor to the physical printer port.
MS-DOS Kermit command SET PRINTER allows a choice to be made to a DOS
device name (such as PRN) or to a file.
There is limited support to have an MS-DOS Kermit server execute
DOS commands and relay back their results to the caller. This is the
REMOTE HOST command. There is no user "interaction" during the command,
and thus this is not acting as a keyboard/screen relay. For a relay one
should try a product such as PCAnywhere or similar.
