It should be possible but (no) thanks to a bug in the current version, I
don't think you can do it.
The bug is that the "macros on keys" feature doesn't work; but number 735
in the New bugs list:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/k95/newbugs.txt
This will be fixed in the next release:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/support.html
I can't give you a date for the next release but as noted on the Support
page, you can get a preview that contains this fix, for a fee.
