I have a kermit script which reads a line at a time from a text file and
outputs it to the active com port.  The problem I have is that some of the
text in the file consists of the \ character followed by numbers.  When
the line is output to the com port it will sometimes transmit translated
characters rather than the original text from the file.  For example, an
'output aaa\97128bbb' will generate 'aaa\97128bbb' while 'output
aaa\47122bbb' generates two strange characters sandwiched between 'aaa'
and 'bbb'.  Is there any way of disabling the \ translation feature
temporarily in a script?
