Totally possible. The Kermit script language, like any other programming
language, is best used in combination with a reference manual, at least until
you become fluent in it. You'll find tons of examples like the ones you
cite in the manuals "Using MS-DOS Kermit" and "Using C-Kermit" as well as in
the script programs that are supplied with MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit.
