Frank da Cruz:
   I could give you a better answer if I knew which version of Kermit
   you were talking about.  MS-DOS Kermit?  C-Kermit?

I use C-Kermit, MS-DOS Kermit, and CMS-Kermit.  Kermit is my preferred
mechanism for getting files [in and] out of CMS.

   In C-Kermit, you use \ffiles(wildcard) and the fnextfile() to get
   each filename, and assign it to an array member.  See the example
   in ckcker.bwr (search for "ffiles").

Thanks, next time I have to tackle this kind of problem I'll look for
this feature.

[P.S. it would also be nice to have an analogue to \ffiles() which
would get the list of files from a remote kermit server, put or send
command.]
