C-Kermit is not a terminal emulator. Therefore, in addition to
not interpretting terminal escape seqeunces for screen display
it does not provide keyboard verbs for terminal specific keyboard
escape sequences. Unlike MS-DOS Kermit and Kermit 95 which run
as stand alone applications, C-Kermit runs within a X Window or
console environment. It is this environment that provides your
terminal type including both screen display and keyboard input.
The C-Kermit SET KEY command may be used to map single character
values to other values, but it cannot recognize any of the special
keys such as F1, Home, or PgUp.
