Kermit doesn't display this. You have some program or script that
is putting up a menu, starting and stopping Kermit, etc.

It sounds from your description like you *are* back at your script.

Yes, we're still confused. You have to be a lot more specific about
exactly what components are involved. I think you are assuming that we
can infer facts that are not in your message.
In a subsequent message you stated that you were accessing AIX from an NT
system with communications software called Hummingbird (or is it the other
way around?). Are these all the pieces of the puzzle, or are other
computers involved too? The reason I ask is that I don't see how Ctrl-\c
could ever have got you back to the C-Kermit prompt in the scenario you
seem to be describing, because you haven't said anything about using
C-Kermit to make a connection from AIX to anyplace else?
