Frank,
I am using OS2 CKO191(A). Using a direct RS232 connection to an old DEC
machine. The system posts subway train destination information to a monitor
screen. Each of 20 subway station platforms is represented by a specific screen
area. The application I would like to use C-Kermit for would check the
appropriate screen addresses for train information, store the information in
variables, then periodically (every 5 seconds, for example) check each screen
location for changed information. If this can not be done with C-Kermit, I
suppose it could be done with REXX, which I have never used.
