There's no such character as F10. To instigate the download you have to
send a sequence of characters (all sorts of different character sequences
can be associated with function keys depending on the application and on
which terminal is being emulated or assumed).

Have Kermit send the same character sequence. The command is OUTPUT.
The syntax is in this case is:
OUPUT \27[010q
