a GENERIC LOGOUT packet.

follow it when writing an ASCII file.
.ELS
The following are know problems with Kermit-32 3.3.111.
.ls "o"
.le;Commands are upcased so that LIB$TPARSE will scan the command correctly.
This causes problems when attempting to set the prompt and sending server
commands to a UNIX based Kermit.
.le;Kermit-32 will quote multiple characters with "~" in a file name even if the
REPEAT__QUOTE character is set to space.
.le;When receiving a file of type FIXED, if the final record is not exactly
512 bytes, then an error occurs and the receiving Kermit blows up.
.le;Kermit-32 can hang on a virtual terminal due to XON-XOFF processing
between the VAX and a remote system.
