The first paragraph of the Terminal Connection chapter (8) begins, "Most
versions of C-Kermit -- UNIX, VMS, AOS/VS, VOS, etc -- provide terminal
connection without emulation. These versions act as a 'semitransparent
pipe' between the remote computer and your terminal, terminal emulator,
console driver, or window, which in turn emulates (or is) a specific kind
of terminal."

In a regular xterm window, you can use xmodmap to set key values, as
described in the ckuker.bwr file. But if you need VT220 emulation, perhaps
you'd do better with Thomas Dickey's Xfree86 xterm, which is, indeed, a
VT220 emulator:
