+	Example for "~/.kermrc" Kermit init file for use with U-Boot

+
+flash_param:
+
+        "kermit" script to automatically initialize the environment
+        variables on your target. This is most useful during
+        development when your environment variables are stored in an
+        embedded flash sector which is erased whenever you install a
+        new U-Boot image.

+send_cmd:
+
+	send_cmd U_BOOT_COMMAND
+
+        "kermit" script to send a U-Boot command and print the
+        results. When used from a shell with history (like the bash)
+        this indirectly adds kind of history to U-Boot ;-)

+	send_image FILE_NAME OFFSET
+
+        "kermit" script to automatically download a file to the
+        target using the "loadb" command (kermit binary protocol)
