I just tried this on Kermit 2.29 using the standard method for reprogramming
keys (set key scan XX, etc...) and it didn't work. I suspect that it is be-
cause Kermit is reading the scan codes directly and converting them to ASCII
or whatever. if this is the case, then the only way to break is to physically 
type ^]. Any other key combination(s) will be sent directly to the serial port
using whatever other mapping you have programmed in.

That's one reason why you have to press ^] twice to send it to the host. The
first key press is grabbed by Kermit as the escape character and doesn't get
transmitted.
