Unfortunately, with Kermit 3.14, the "echo \%1" does not echo anything except
a blank line. I am using Kermit for file transfer only, and once I
successfully complete the transfer I want to copy the file to another
directory, and then delete it from the original. So far I have not found
a way to determine what file is passed to kermit on the command line.
Thanks.
