Using which Kermit program, and what version?
When commenting on the behavior of a software program, it is always a
good idea to say which program it is, and which version of it.

Yes. In C-Kermit 5A(190), there is "set command quoting off". Also, in
both C-Kermit 5A (188-190) and MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 (but not earlier), you
should be able to do something like this:
read \%a
output \fcontents(\%a)
By the way, a similar kind of problem occurs whenever you need to refer
to DOS-like pathnames in a Kermit script. The solutions are the same.
