Yes, but pico is running on the same machine where xterm is running.
Kermit, on the other hand, has a connection to another machine, and
therefore all the caveats of data communications apply. For example, it is
possible that the text is indeed being pasted into the window, but then
Kermit has to send it to the other computer, and the other computer has to
echo it back, and Kermit has to read the echoes. For this to work on (for
example) a serial connection requires the connection to be effectively flow
controlled end to end.
If I'm not on target, let's take this offline to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
Give more details about the connection, and what "state" Kermit is in
when you paste to it (command, connect, script execution, ...)
