COMMAND PROCESSING

When a command field begins with the @ (at-sign) character, the following
characters are interpreted as a filename that contains the rest of the
command.  If you need to type a command field that actually starts with @, or
respond to an ASK or ASKQ query with text that starts with an atsign, you have
to encode the atsign as \64 or \{64}.

\B in an OUTPUT command tells Kermit to send a BREAK.  \L Tells Kermit to
send a Long BREAK.  If you need to output \B or \L literally, use two OUTPUT
statements, e.g.:

  define xbreak pause 1, output +++, pause 1, output AT\92, output B, -
    pause 1, output ATO\13, connect
  set key <key-of-your-choice> {\Kxbreak}

Notice that the backslash itself is written as "\92" to output it literally.

Certain commands, such as RUN, DIRECTORY, TYPE, etc, invoke COMMAND.COM
"underneath" Kermit, and COMMAND.COM might, in turn, invoke other programs.
If you get the message "Can't run program" in response to such a command, it
usually means there is not enough memory.  But you should also check your
SHELL environment variable.

If you include the word STAY anywhere on the Kermit command line, e.g.:

  kermit echo stay

it is interpreted as a STAY command.

A command file that contains lines or commands too long for DOS's line buffer
(usually 128 characters) can hang your PC: a DOS problem, not a Kermit problem.

Commands in command files can be continued by including "-" as the last
character on the line, but NOT if the line ends with a trailing comment.  In
other words, you can't have a trailing comment on a continued line. If you
need to end a line with a dash, but the dash is part of the command rather
than a continuation symbol, use \45 instead or add a trailing comment.

Trailing comments can be used only in command files.  All text starting with
the first semicolon through the end of line is ignored.	 If you need to include
an actual semicolon in a command, precede it with a backslash (\;).

The name and password that you specify in SET SERVER LOGIN must be matched
exactly by the ones in REMOTE LOGIN.  Case matters.  If you need to include
spaces within the username, password, or account field of the REMOTE LOGIN or
SET SERVER LOGIN commands, surround the field with {braces}.

DISABLE ALL is not equivalent to all the other DISABLE commands given
separately.  For example, DISABLE DELETE restricts REMOTE DELETE commands from
the client to working only in the MS-DOS Kermit server's current directory,
while DISABLE ALL prevents all types of modifications to the PC's file system,
including file deletion and creation.
