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.
