:Is MS-Kermit a complete communication program like procomm, telix, qmodem?  In  
Yes.  There are several versions.  I use MS-Kermit for MessyDOS
systems, and c-kermit on UNIX.  They have completely different
source as the MS-kermit is written largely in assembler, and
c-kermit is written in (surprise), C.  Both these version support
large packet sizes and sliding windows and give good transfer
rates (I get around 860cps on a V.32 9600 baud connection and
higher with V.32bis).

:school I use kermit to transfer file from my PC to mainframe.  I heard from  
:someone in eariler articles saying that Kermit program can also display tek  
:4014 grahpics.  Could someone explain to me what's the differences between the
:kermit I use to transfer files and the MS-Kermit?

MS-kermit does do Tek emulation in addition to it's default
VT220.  The VT220 emulation also has key-bindings to support
WordPerfect well under DOS.  Function keys work normally (as
opposed to procomm where hitting F1 gets me a procomm menu rather
then send the F1 sequence).

Kermit is a communications protocol that was developed to allow
file transfers between various kinds of machines ranging from main
frames to CP/M, AppleII....  Many communications program support
the basic kermit protocols, but usually not very well.

Binaries and sources are available from many ftp sites including
uunet.
