Howdy. I'm writing a kermit script to recieve files from
sources outside our company. We're running C-Kermit
6.0.192 6 Sep 96 under Alpha, VMS 6.2.
In the scripts, we use 'cd \$(ef_intake_dir)', where
ef_intake_dir is "DRB0:[bellt33.syim.intake]". The
cd fails - because it doesn't understand "DRB0:".
I've confirmed this by trying cd's manually. Without the
drive spec, it works find. With the drive spec it fails
every time.
I've tried enclosing the drive spec in single and
double quotes. No luck.
Any suggestions? We need to include the drive spec
to ensure that files end up in the right spot.
I've got the manual for a previous version (new one is
on order) - at home. Thanks for your time in answering.
