Well, it's not actually a trick, rather a convenient use of the capabilities
of Windows95 and Kermit95.
I have an oft-used entry called "Telnet gamera" in the K95 dialer. When I
use the dialer to get to gamera, the dialer writes the script
k95\tmp\telnet_gamera.scr then starts the "engine" (k95.exe) telling it to
"take" the script. This is how the dialer starts all connections.
1. I told the dialer to save this script by putting "set startup-file keep"
in k95.ini
2. I copied tmp\telnet_gamera.scr to scripts\gamera.ksc (use any extension
here which has no W95 associations; don't use "scr" since W95
thinks they're screensaver files)
3. In Explorer/View/Options/FileTypes, I created the file type "Kermit
script", assigned it the extension ".ksc" and associated it
with the action:
c:\k95\k95.exe -SC "take %1"
(This is literal; S means "stay" [don't exit upon return to the K95 prompt];
C means execute the Kermit command that follows)
Voila! double-click "gamera.ksc" (or a shortcut to it) and a few moments
later, I'm sitting at gamera's prompt. I put a shortcut to "gamera.ksc" in
my start menu, and now a single click gets me there without messing with the
dialer ... convenient!
And I discovered that the ksc file did not have to be anywhere special,
since Windows95 passes a fully qualified drive:\path\name (%1) to K95.exe.
And, of course, when Explorer shows me one of these ksc files in a folder
(with details) it identified as being of the type "Kermit script".
Enjoy!
