VT320-W would not appear in the scroll box; it's not a terminal type,
it's a keyboard mode applied to a terminal type.

Me too. Let's try again, step by step. Let's assume you have a connection
to the host, and have started WordPerfect on the host. K95 is in its
terminal screen (normally blue, but could be any color). On the bottom
of the screen (inside the frame) is a green line with white writing, called
the Status Line, that says:
o o o o VT320 Help: Alt-H Command: Alt-X (etc etc).
At this point do:
. Alt-x (i.e. hold down the Alt key and press the X key)
. At the K-95> prompt, type the following command:
set terminal keyboard-mode wp
. Alt-x again to get back to the terminal screen.
Now the Status Line should say:
o o o o VT320-W Help: Alt-H Command: Alt-X (etc etc).
and the WordPerfect Key mappings should be in effect.
To return to the regular VT320 key mapping, do:
. Alt-x (i.e. hold down the Alt key and press the X key)
. At the K-95> prompt, type the following command:
set terminal keyboard-mode normal
. Alt-x again to get back to the terminal screen.
and the "VT320-W" in the status line should revert to "VT320".
There *should* be an easier way to do this:
Ctrl-Alt-Shift-W
is supposed to toggle in and out of WordPerfect keyboard mode. But
for some unknown reason this does not seem to work on all PCs.
If these instructions do not cause "VT320-W" to appear in Kermit's
status line, send e-mail to kermit-support@columbia.edu, and we'll
do the detailed troubleshooting.
By the way, when you first posted this question you said you had
the "latest kermit", and I assumed by that you meant you had
Kermit 95 2.1.3. If that's not the case and you are talking about
(e.g.) MS-DOS Kermit, then please say so.
