The labels aren't switched.  "Get" implies that the other end of the line
has a Kermit server active.  It will send the filename you request to the
server, which will then send you the file.  "Receive", on the other hand,
implies that you have entered a command such as "kermit -s <filename>"
on the remote system, and then entered receive mode on your end, to receive
the requested files.
