I wrote a C-Kermit script for someone here at work to log onto
a machine via modem and send a mail and then log back off to
minimize the time on the modem. A command procedure (DCL)
builds the commands that get executed by C-Kermit.
To make a long story short, he is trying to put things like
":-(" in the subject and it is causing problems. Below is
a test I performed that gives me the same error.
C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for OpenVMS VAX

Type ? or HELP for help.
C-Kermit>def arglist echo 1=(\%1) 2=(\%2) 3=(\%3)
C-Kermit>xif success {arglist {123},show macro arglist}
1=(123) 2=() 3=()
arglist = echo 1=(\%1) 2=(\%2) 3=(\%3)
C-Kermit>xif success {arglist {(},show macro arglist}
?No keywords match - glist
-----------------------------
I realize that the "(" is potentially bad and that is exactly
what is causing the problem. What can I do to alleviate
this weirdness?
Also I noticed that my version of C-Kermit doesn't
perform a LF when it does its first output (the above
was slightly edited). It really would have looked
like this on my screen.

1=(123) 2=() 3=()ess {arglist {123},show macro arglist}
------------------------
Where after the "def arglist..." I did the same "xif" as
shown above. I imagine this is a small bug and not big
deal to fix. Just wanted to point it out.
Thanks for your help in advance.
