-Depending on the Kermit and its settings, it may always try to store

This turned out to be something very peculiar in windows on the host. If I moved
the kermit folder from C:\aaa\kermit to C:\kermit it all worked fine. Putting it
back in aaa and it failed. The workaround was (I was starting kermit from a
shortcut to a batch file in the form kermit cmdfile,) to start the "normal"
batch file from another batch file with another shortcut. Note the normal batch
file works on other PCs OK.
I spent a couple of hours on it and didn't have more time to spend, but my guess
is some underlying problem on the pc's windows installation and the way it
handled the DOS 16 bit subsystem. I am sure a reload of windows would have fixed
it, but that wasn't a practical option in this case...
thanks for the suggestions
