We are a small bunch here. If we could clone ourselves
(or had the money to hire more people, or even to feed the
clones) we would have lots of features that people have been
waiting for, consolidated documentation, etc.
Meanwhile just remember that C-Kermit (including K95) has a
command for almost anything you can think of, and there are
only 3 or 4 (or 5 or 6) places to look:
1. Using C-Kermit, 2nd Edition. Has a good index.
2. The C-Kermit 7.0 supplement to (1):
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit70.html
You can search for strings like "pathnames" in this.
3. The C-Kermit 8.0 supplement to (1):
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit80.html
Ditto about searching. This one includes the FTP
client documentation.
4. The Kermit 95 manual that comes with Kermit 95
(only for K95-specific things). This is mostly one
big file you can search through, but there are also
subfiles. Hint (at the K-95> prompt):
kcd exedir
cd docs/manual
grep pathnames *.htm
5. Several special-topic web pages like:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/security.html
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/telnet.html
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ssh.html
And of course if you get stuck on something, just ask.
