I can help with this one (since I've used both apc and terminalR/
terminalS). There's nothing to set up on the PC side with apc, no
terminalR or terminalS macros. That's the idea-- apc is more
flexible. You just have the host Kermit execute 'apc comma,
separated,list,of,commands', and this list will be sent to the PC,
which will execute them as though they were a comma separated list
of commands in a macro definition. The PC Kermit automatically
goes to command mode when it recieves an apc, and automatically
returns to terminal mode after it finishes executing the commands.
The only thing that you may want to set on your PC is the 'terminal
apc' variable. Default is 'on', which enables "safe" commands. If
you want your apc to include delete, run (shell to DOS), or other
"unsafe" commands, you need to 'set terminal apc unchecked' first.
This itself can be done from the host, with a separate apc command.
Note that terminal apc should be reset back to 'on' as soon as
possible. The apc from the host can also instruct your PC to
execute a macro or take file you want something.
One last little note: If you want a backslash sent in an apc
command (eg. directory specifications) from a Unix host, it seems
to be necessary to escape it with a second one, or it isn't sent.
Hope that helps.
