			      Kermit Help File

Kermit is a family of programs which perform reliable file transfer between
computers over regular TTY lines.  This file contains the Kermit commands
for the Vax/VMS version of Kermit.

Command			Explanation

send		Sends  a file  or  file  group  from the  VAX  to  the  remote
		host.   The name of each file is passed to the remote  host in
		a special control packet, so that the remote  host  can  store
		it  with  the same  name.  VMS wildcarding is allowed.

receive		Receive a file or file group from the  remote  host.    If  an
		incoming file name is not legal, then attempt  to transform it
		to  a  similar  legal  name,  e.g.  by  deleting   illegal  or
		excessive characters.  If the  file  already exists,  it  will
		be supersceded. 

set		Establish  various  system-dependent  parameters, such as max-
		imum packet length,  dubbuging mode, transmission delay,  etc.
		Also allows  the  user to specify virtual terminal line-speed,
		and parity.

show		Display various system-dependent  parameters  established   by
		the SET command.

connect		Establish a  virtual  terminal  connection  from  the VAX to a
		computer hooked up to it through a  TTY line.  The  connection
		uses the line speed, and parity defined by the set command.

status		Give information about  the last file transfer; effective baud
		rate, number of ACK's, NAK's, and bad packets, etc.

dcl		Perform a call to vms dcl.

?		Print help about various options available at a point in
		in a command string.  (ie. set ? will show all options
		available pertaining to set)
