You can put any Kermit commands at all into a Kermit script.

It depends what you mean by "stuff". Did you OUTPUT hangup\13 to the other
side, or did you just put "hangup" in your script as a Kermit command?
Each one does about what you would think.

As noted, you can put any Kermit commands in your scripts.

A BBS is a fullscreen application, and so input does not necessarily arrive
from it in a linear fashion. Although the book does not discuss scripting
BBS login and navigation explicitly, there is a section on logging into an
IBM mainframe fullscreen session, which is similar.
