    Do you happen to know what character(s) will abort a Kermit file transfer?

    According to http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftp/protocol/kuser.pdf Ctrl-X is supposed to work to cancel a file transfer, but maybe that's an actual key-press check (and a character received via comm link).> If you notice a file being sent which you do not really want to send, you may cancel the operation immediately by typing either Control-X or Control-Z. If your are sending a file group, Control-X will cause the current file to be skipped, and Kermit will go on to the next file, whereas Control-Z will cancel sending the entire group and return you to Kermit-20 command level.

    From https://github.com/KermitProject/gkermit```5. INTERRUPTING FILE TRANSFERG-Kermit supports file and group interruption. The method for interruptinga transfer depends on your terminal emulator. For example, while thefile-transfer display is active, you might type the letter 'x' to cancel thecurrent file and go on to the next one (if any), and the letter 'z' tocancel the group. Or there might be buttons you can click with your mouse.When G-Kermit is in packet mode and your terminal emulator is in itsterminal screen, you can also type three (3) Ctrl-C characters in a row tomake G-Kermit exit and restore the normal terminal modes.```

    Maybe "termmsg" could be added to the file.ini so that specific instructions for other protocols could be provided otherwise print the default?
