----------
Maybe I can clarify the matter for you. APC commands are recognized
(the stuff coming at a machine from outside) only by the VT200/300 terminal
emulators. It's a terminal-like command sequence, and to be recognized and
acted upon it must be received by an appropriate terminal emulator.
Terminal emulation is NOT active when transferring files or sending
file-like commands from the Kermit prompt. It is active only when you say
CONNECT. The command interpreters (Kermit command line stuff) are not
terminal emulators, the host o/s shell isn't a terminal emulator either.
