		  KERMIT VERSION 2.26 FOR Z-DOS

			September 20, 1984

This guide is meant to be a supplement to the MSKERMIT.HLP file.  It
describes the differences between the Z-100 version of Kermit and
the IBM-PC version.  This version has not been tested with Z-DOS
version 2.0.  LOCAL command execution may or may not work.

* Program Operation

The Z-100 version of Kermit uses a slightly different concept for
Heath emulation.  The Z-100 normally uses the same escape sequences
as the Heathkit H-19 terminal, although a slightly different key
arrangement is used.  With Heath emulation mode turned on, the normal
Z-100/H19 escape sequences will be sent by the function keys and keypad.
However, key redefinition will not be available.  Printer control is 
also not available in Heath emulation mode.  When Heath emulation
is turned off (the default), the function keys and keypad emulate the
Heath sequence as best as possible (no checks are made for alternate
or shifted keypad modes), but key redefinition is allowed.  If a problem
is encountered running a program that uses the keypad keys or function
keys, swicth to Heath emulation and see if that helps.  Heath
emulation only affects what characters are sent for keys typed at the
keyboard.  It does not change the affect of incoming characters or
escape sequences.

The Z-100 version of Kermit-MS does not support multiple communication
ports.  The modem is assumed to be connected to the AUX port.  This
port must be configured as no parity, no handshake, 1 stop bit, 8 data
bits, no pad.

* Terminal Emulation

The Z-DOS version of Kermit-MS uses the following capabilities:

	Escape Char:	^]
	Modeline
	Printer control
	Key redefinition (with Heath emulation off)

Screen scroll is not currently supported.

. Printer Control

The contents of a screen may be printed at any time if a printscreen
driver has been installed prior to running Kermit.  This is usually
done by running the PSC command which comes with your ZDOS 1.25
disks.  After this, the screen contents may be printed using
Shift-F12.

If you wish to log a terminal session on the printer and you are not
using Heath emulation mode, the F12 function key will start or stop
the spooling of incoming characters to the printer.  This may also
be simulated by the Kermit-MS LOG PRN and CLOSE commands.

. Key Redefinition

Key redefinitions are accomplished in the same way as with the IBM-PC
version.  However, key redefintion may only be used when Heath
emulation is turned off.
