Please advise - I need to run a copy concatenate in Ms-Kermit 3.14
and C-Kermit 5a(190) for OS/2. My script line for both looks like:

run copy file1 + file2 + file3 target

I have to shell to the OS to do it because I found that internal kermit
copy wouldn't work. The problem i get (but not on ALL the machines i
try) is that "file3" is not always concatenated, so the application that
receives "target" fails. I have kludged round it by:

run copy file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 target

where target is a 0 byte file created by
open write file4 / close write file. Messy, but i'd
like a fix for my problem..

Thanks in advance!
