I always thought this would happen by itself, but it hasn't.
First of all, make sure you have C-Kermit 6.0. Then look in the
ckermit.ini (.kermrc) file for lots of examples showing automatic
login to various kinds of hosts, implementation of the services
directory, and various other useful functions. There are also
some separate *.ksc (Kermit Script) files, like the one for sending
alpha pages. And of course there are lots of examples in the book.
If people want to send in working examples of scripts, we'll be
glad to collect them and make them available.
Remember, the format of script programs has been considerably
simplified in C-Kermit 6.0 and MS-DOS Kermit 3.15 -- no more of
that silly "comma-dash" business, etc. Now we have C-language-like
block structure, scoping of variables, additional structured
programming constructs, etc, conducive to writing readable and
well-structured script programs. (Of course old-format scripts are
still executed by the new Kermit releases, but I'd prefer it if
examples showed off the new-&-improved format.)
