Well, assuming you've modified the cols80.bat and cols132.bat files
according to the instructions (this requires device-dependent programs.
probably not something you want to impliment unless your users have
identical video cards), the command:
set terminal compressed-text text
will force kermit to use the batch files to switch text mode to 132
columns. If this is not used, Kermit assumes that you want the graphics
monitor to emulate 132 column text. The emulation only allows for 128
columns, though, so you'll lose the last 4 cols.
