Thanks to all you guys out there that were able to help me with the previous questions. Now I got just one last one about Kermit. Is there any way to avoid needing a Kermit.Init file?? Everytime I use Kermit without that text file in the directory, it goes berserk, giving me some "Illegal Call to such-such routine" type msg. I'm trying to make my copy of Kermit completly independent of any other outside files, but this little problem persists. David William Wrage a.k.a.

If you've saved all the set parameters you need and BSAVE'd Kermit, it WILL look for a KERMIT.INIT file and generate a one line error message if it doesn''t find one; however, you can simply ignore the message (the program should end up in local mode with the Kermit-65> prompt - at least it does for me :-) Most folks prefer at least a one line KERMIT.INIT file containing CONNECT (so that the BRUN ends up in terminal mode). Why is it important to make the program completely independent of any other file?
