When posting questions like this, you should include enough information
to allow us to answer them. At minimum, in this case, the version of
Kermit you have (the current version is 3.14) and the type of video adapter.
There are appoximately four cases:
1. There is no way to put your video adapter into 132-column mode.
2. Kermit switches between 80 and 132 column mode automatically based
on its identification of the video adapter (evidently not the case
on your PC).
3. Your video adapter supports 132 column mode but Kermit does not know
the magic incantation for switching it, and so you you have set up
the COLS132.BAT and COLS80.BAT files to do it.
4. 132 column mode can be simulated using graphics.
This is all explained in the manual, "Using MS-DOS Kermit", as supplemented
by the KERMIT.UPD and KERMIT.BWR files on your MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 diskette.
