Dear Kermit Users,
Is there a possibility to disable the (or some) internal Key-commands
like Alt-X, Alt-=, Alt-Z, etc., while in connect mode (terminal
emulation)? I could re-define the keys of course, but a command like
'disable ...' would be nicer (?). Also the normal escape character ^]
is on our wishlist for disabling.
The reason:
We want to use MS-kermit 3.13 for making an automated script-directed
TCP/IP connection to a HP9000/720 unix host, login, run a program on
the host (only screen-info as output), logout, and return to DOS after
quitting the unix-application. During the session the user may not be
able to return to the KERMIT> prompt (Alt-X, or ^]C), may not access
the escape-menu (^].... for sending breaks, toggle capturing, etc.,
etc.). However, all other ctrl- and alt-keys, and cursor controls
must remain intact.
The script is running fine and everything that we want is working
O.K. (we love Kermit's scripting facilities!!). The only wish now is
to secure the procedure for the users to prevent unwanted effects
caused by accidentally used keys.
Second question: Is it possible to use a DOS-environment variable in
a script-file in the output command? We have a DOS-variable 'GROUP'
which content we want to pass to the unix-host. I think we must use
someting like "$GROUP". Is this correct?
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Pim Clotscher
