A few questions about Red Ryder.  (I don't much about it, so this isn't
a flame.  At least not if I get the correct answers. :-)

Can RR upload/download multiple files using Kermit?  How?  I tried to
do this, and ended up with 10 MacBinary files all crunched into a single
file.  I knew it was flakey when the % done bar reached about 140% with
no end in sight.  And it did this *without* reporting a single error!!!
I know Kermit on the Unix works fine, as I use it daily with a number
of other machines.  But the Mac chokes.

In vt100 mode, how can I set it to display 80 columns by 24 rows?  A vt100
is 80x24, not 90x30, not 60x20, etc.  This really screws things up.  Setting
it manually would be acceptable, if it saved the screen size.  Doing this
every time is a waste.

How can I get the escape key to work?  Using option-[ is a real pain.
Using vi at 1200bps is bad enough; is RR trying to torture me?

This is RR 10.3.  Yes it was bought.  No I can't find TFM.  It took me
two months to find the "Intro to MacII" manual.  The owner of the
machine is not particularly organized.  Thanks for your help.
