Why don't you send a copy of your script to kermit-support@columbia.edu?
We are obviously overlooking something in this discussion. MS-DOS Kermit
does not collapse internal spaces, so if your ECHO command text really
does include 30 internal spaces and only 5 are displayed, strange forces
are at work. It doesn't happen here:
[C:\MSKERMIT] MS-Kermit>echo || ||
|| ||
[C:\MSKERMIT] MS-Kermit>echo { || || }
|| ||
[C:\MSKERMIT] MS-Kermit>
