Speaking of terminal programs and Windows 2.03... Has anyone else had the
following problem with Kermit 2.29 & Windows 2.03?  I created a PIF to let
Kermit run in a window (no big trick).  All seemed well until I tried to
'exit' Kermit after downloading a file.  When I tried to exit Kermit, the
error message 'Divide by zero' appeared in a window and my system hung.  I
tried this a couple of times and replicated the problem.  The problem DOES
NOT appear if I DO NOT download any files when using Kermit.
