Strictly speaking, not totally accurate. But practically speaking,
good advice -- since it's easier to remember this way. However, the
curious are referred to Table 8-1 on page 168 of "Using C-Kermit" for

You can generally use IF and built-in variables to construct scripts
that are portable among the various C-Kermit implementations and also
MS-DOS Kermit. In this case, for example:
if equal "\v(system)" "VMS" set file type labeled

But in cases where even, odd, or mark parity is being used, modern
Kermit programs will detect it and switch to 8th-bit prefixing
automatically.
