In kermit.bwr it is said:
Commands in command files can be continued by including "-" as the last
character on the line, but NOT if the line ends with a trailing
comment. In other words, you can't have a trailing comment on a
continued line.
Well, I did not know this, and I had the following macro within my
mscustom.ini:
define kommsrv -
dial rz1,-
input 30 Benutzernummer:,- ; Warte auf die Ausgabe.
output p41bsmk\44PASSWD\13,- ; Account,Passwort
input 10 >,- ; Warte auf Prompt.
output c\44komm\13,- ; Rufe kommsrv.
connect
This macro worked alright on my laptop at home until I upgraded from
kermite.exe 3.14 beta 14 to the final version. Then, parts of that macro
got displayed at the MS-Kermit prompt when loading mscustom.ini.
This "error" had not occurred when I first tested the new (final 3.14)
Kermit release on my office PC. Trying out this and that (on the office
PC, again), I noticed that minor variations in the macro let it either
work or not work.
Just wondering. And, of course, it would be nice to be able to comment
single commands in macro definitions. Any leads?
