UPDATE# KERMIT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE The DOS environment variable KERMIT may be used for setting certain parameters, even if Kermit doesn't read its initialization file. Set this environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET KERMIT=text can be one or more MS-DOS Kermit startup parameters of the form , separated by semicolons. Startup parameters include: INPBUT (allocates storage for INPUT command buffer) ROLLBACK (allocates storage for rollback screens) WIDTH (allocates sorage for given screen width, 80-207) COMn
(sets COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 address and IRQ) PATH (where Kermit looks for TAKE files) PATH and WIDTH are new to version 3.13. WIDTH defines the width of the terminal-screen rollback memory. If you want to roll back wide screens, you should specify the width, e.g. 132. AUTOEXEC.BAT Example: SET KERMIT=ROLLBACK 50;WIDTH 132;PATH C:\KERMIT PATH affects the initialization-file search, the TAKE command, and the IF INPATH command. .
