I'm using the latest Alpha of Ms-KERMIT V3.16 (I believe it's Alpha.05).
As I use a speech synthesizer/screen-reader software to read the screen, I
set things to keep the verbage to a minimum. Among other things, this
means "SET MODE-LINE OFF".
My problem: If one does a "SET TERMINAL TYPE ANSI", then "CONNECT",
whatever one is going to do, then escapes back to the MS-KERMIT prompt,
sets the terminal-type to anything else such as "SET TERMINAL TYPE VT320",
then does another "CONNECT", my MODE_LINE setting is forgotten, i.e., the
little blurb about which keystrokes do what is displayed even though I
have done a "SET MODE-LINE OFF" in my initialization. To me, this is more
than a feature; it's a bug. :-) :-) Obviously, now that I've figured out
what the problem is, I can go back in and reset MODE_LINE but it would be
nice if I didn't have to.
