            If no number followed, ^P pauses three seconds.
        ^Wmessage^W (CTRL-W) wait for 'message'. ? matches to arbitrary
            character.
Example:

        Even parity means a parity is added to each character on communication.
        No parity means that parity is not used.
        You can also change bit length and parity by 'CTRL-PF8' in
        communication mode.

        I recommend to use 8 bit, no parity.
        To pass EUC or shift JIS kanji code and send/receive binary file
        in kermit, you should set 8 bit character length.
        To change character length in the Berkley unix system, type
                stty pass8

        Default is '8 Bit No Parity'.
        This parameter is saved in set-up file.

        the remote system if receive buffer becomes near full.
        When receive buffer reaches near empty, hterm sends XON character
        (0x13 CTRL-Q) to the remote system.
        XOFF means 'stop sending please!' and XON means 'OK, send please'.
        If you are using relatively slow machine, hterm may drop some
        characters.
