I'm not convinced it is pilot error. At least I don't what commands
would "fix" it.

I've tried various combinations with MS-Kermit 3.14 patch level 9,
MS-Kermit 3.16 and Kermit 95 2.1.3 as client and Kermit 95 2.1.3,
C-Kermit 6.0.192 and C-Kermit 8.0.212 Dev.01 as server - all over
dial-up modem connections, but I think the results would be the same
over TCP/IP.
The only combinations that exhibit the problem are the MS-Kermit
clients and the Kermit-95 server.
I made packet logs with the MS-Kermit 3.16 client and Kermit-95 and
C-Kermit servers.
The issue seems to be that the K-95 server sends the listing with only
"#J" (prefixed line-feed) as a line terminator whereas C-Kermit sends
the listing with "#M#J" (prefixed CR-LF) as the line terminator. If
K-95 is the client, it understands the "#J" as a new-line and displays
the listing correctly whereas MS-Kermit displays the "#J" as a
line-feed only so the listing is "horizontally scrolled".
This appears to be a limitation on using MS-Kermit as a client with
K-95 as a server although I don't really know why there should be a
difference between K-95 and C-Kermit in this respect, but there clearly
is. Maybe there is some magic switch after all.
