I knew I should have saved those messages!! Oh, well... Anyway, no, I did not
press that key sequence. I know the ones you mean, but all I was doing at the
time was reading articles. When I read articale, all I ever press are CLOSE or
DIR. Nothing else. And, as I am using a mac, I do not know how the keys are set
up in MS-DOS Kermit (or even Mac Kermit - yuck!), but on my key layout, they
are not close enough that I can do it accidentally.
