I've spent a lot of time and energy on using kermit as a reliable file
mover. Typically, this boils down to sending a file and deleting it
after it's been successfully transfered.
What I originally wanted to be able to do was something like get * but
with a macro instead of get.
I think it would be very useful to be able to use implicit looping
over file names selected by a wild card pattern. It would probably be
useful to factor this into two steps: gathering the names should
probably be a different step from the implicit looping.
[Right now, I do os specific things to build a kermit script then
execute it...]
Personally, I have no immediate need for this feature, but I suspect
it would make my life simpler next time around.
