Thanks,
I was interested in *automatically* changing to non-standard
video-modes. I did this by running a dos bat file from within
the apc string that exits kermit with the use of a keyboard buffer
stuffer, changes video-mode then runs and connects mskermit again.
Video mode switching might not be of interest to anyone. But is
interesting that rather than using a new dos shell for apc operations
on the local machine you can exit and rerun kermit with the advantage
that you have full pc memory.
I find the APC mechanism very useful i.e.: you can use it with
tin and lynx running on a remote unix host, to automatically view
graphics using a dos viewer.
