This information applied to old versions of MS-DOS Kermit, and also required
that a certain macro be defined on the Kermit end. This feature is no longer
available in the same form because the escape sequence cited above conflicted
with a later use by DEC in VT terminals. From the KERMIT.BWR file:
(2) INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN MS-DOS KERMIT 3.14 AND EARLIER VERSIONS
1. In version 3.13, the escape sequence that invoked the TERMINALR/S macros
was changed to control screen writing direction (details in KERMIT.UPD),
for compatibility with newer VT terminals. Any host software that sent
the TERMINALR/S sequences will need to be converted to send APC sequences.
See KERMIT.UPD and the WordPerfect section of this file.
A new method that is (a) more flexible, and (b) less likely to conflict with
anything else is described in Section 10 of the KERMIT.UPD file.
