Now you can Send or Receive files using the Kermit
protocol on the HP OmniBook 300, 425, or 430 and the HP
95LX Palmtop.
KERMIT COMMANDS
When sending or receiving, a send command must be
issued from one machine while a receive command is
issued from the other machine simultaneously. The
following is a brief outline of the syntax for Kermit
commands Send and Receive.
SEND
The send command requires a source file identifier.
The command send thisfile.txt will send the file named
thisfile.txt.
The send command also permits an optional destination
identifier. The command send thisfile.txt thatfile.txt
will send the file thisfile.txt and rename it to
thatfile.txt on the destination machine.
RECEIVE
The receive command will receive a file from the source
machine. The command receive will receive a file as it
is sent by the source machine.
The receive command also permits an optional
identifier. The command receive thisfile.txt will
receive a file from the source machine and rename it to
thisfile.txt.

refer to Kermit, a file transfer protocol by Frank da
Cruz from Digital Press.
