I figured out how to get most of Latin-1 to display OK. I just had to set
the terminal to VT220 or VT320. When I had set the terminal to VT100,
MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 was displaying the characters as CP437 - i.e., without
translation. This is a change from 3.13.
(I booted up WFW 3.11 and observed the same behavior).
