Your PC is in local mode. The BBS owner very definitely does NOT
want you to break protocol mode and change states to something unknown.

Sure. READ THE SCREEN, if you are visually able to do so. Or get
a friend to speak it. On the status line of the MS-DOS Kermit file transfer
display screen, and discussed in the user's manual, is a legend explaining
which keys to press to do a formal (nice, clean) protocol termination of
just this file (X) or all files in this operation (Z) or stop the world
abruptly (C) or more gently (E). Try it.
