If one reads the documentation of the C-kermit program, it seems possible to perform an on line "take file" such as: % echo 'take filename' | kermit or % kermit < filename instead of the regular interactive "take" at the kermit prompt: C-Kermit> take filename In fact the program seems to be happy with either of the first two approaches, however it immediately exits as if was operating in the background. The advantage of the first two modes is the possibility of aliasing different kermit procedures such as dialing scripts to different places with different login procedures, etc. The only way (and chrummy) that I had to solve the problem was to alias a procedure which first copies or renames "filename" into .kermrc (the conventional initialization file for kermit), and before exiting, rename .kermrc into "filename" again. Does anybody have a more elegant way of solving the problem? Maybe hacking into the code? Thanks.
