\v(exitstatus) is C-Kermit's own exit status, which is built
up over time in various ways.

The current version is 5A(190), and version 6.0 is in Beta.
In version 6.0, the \v(status) variable is supposed to contain
the exit status code of the child process, and IF SUCCESS /
IF FAILURE should work after RUN/! commands too.  You are welcome
to test this.  Follow the links on our Web page:
