How about this:
take \v(inidir)filename.tak
\v(inidir) is a built-in variable that holds the pathname of the directory
from which the initialization was (or should have been) executed, framed
suitably for concatenation with a filename, subdirectory name, etc.

They are very compatible, despite some differences. I don't know exactly
how to quantify the degree of compatibility, but we are doing our best to
reconcile the differences -- the later releases of C-Kermit and MS-DOS Kermit
you have, the fewer incompatibilities. If you have questions about specific
features, feel free to post them.
