Subject: kermit script to load password?

I have this script that runs when I log on that will look for a file called "mypass.ker"
which I suppose is supposed to contain my password. I tried creating it
with
input "password", where "password" is my personal one, but it doesn't connect
right. It looks like it reads the password correctly, but then when it submits
it to the password authentication server, I always get error messages. I am
thinking that perhaps it is typing it in all caps or something that would make
it unreadable to the server. I would appreciate it if anyone out there who knows
how to do kermit scripts at all could look at this script and tell me what I need
to put in my "mypass.ker" script for it to work. Thanks a lot.
here is the script that calls "mypass.ker":
:GETPSWD
if INPATH mypass.ker goto PASSFILE
echo
echo {Please enter your password now (the one for Personal ID "\m(NWAPersonalID)"}
askq Passwd { and IP Address "\m(NWTIPAddr)"), or "quit" to give up: \7}
if EQUAL x x\m(Passwd) goto GETPSWD
if NOT EQUAL xquit x\m(Passwd) goto END
ErrMsg {User entered "quit" in response to password prompt.}
Open Write UserQuit.FLG
Write File "User Canceled"
Close Write
set errorlevel 6
goto END
:PASSFILE
ProgMsg {Loading password with MYPASS.KER...}
take mypass.ker
END
thank you in advance.
