Yes, this was the command I was thinking of, that time I posted to
ask if the next release of MS-Kermit would have more of the script
commands that C-Kermit has. I stumbled across it in the C-Kerm
docs, and thought "What a valuable tool for login scripts!" Then I
couldn't find it again. This command does me no good in C-Kerm,
which I use only as a remote, but would be seriously valuable in
MSK!

Yes, this would work, but it's a little big, and memory is at a
premium for some of us. I tend to use take files more, and save
memory for key settings and screen rollback.
Anyway, if you can't, you can't. But I'd be interested in this
feature, too.
