It sounds to me like you need to read the script programming chapter of
the manual, "Using MS-DOS Kermit". Although Kermit script programs are
easier to write than, say, C or Fortran programs, when writing programs in
any language you need a reference until you are proficient enough to work
without it.
To summarize very briefly, first make sure sure that you can do everything
manually. Then write down what you did in the form of a script program.
Replace the CONNECT command by a series of:
OUTPUT blah ; what I type
INPUT n blah ; how the computer is supposed to respond within n secs
IF FAIL blah ; what to do if it doesn't
Use SET TAKE ECHO ON and SET INPUT ECHO ON to debug. Please consult the
manual for details.
