  22. In MS-Kermit 3.14, you get to the dos-shell by typing "push" at
  23. the Kermit command prompt.  You can then change directories.
  24. Type "exit" to return to Kermit.  Kermit passes a few dos commands
  25. such as "dir" to dos without requiring you to switch to the shell -
  26. maybe that made you think you had the full shell capabilities.
