That's because it is not a command in the Xenix version of C-Kermit 6.0.
This is either because the underlying APIs (the wait() system call and the
<sys/wait.h> header file with the symbols WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS defined
in it) are not there or else because we are ignorant of them (we don't have
any Xenix systems in-house, nor do we have Telnet/FTP access to any for
development and testing).
If you have a Xenix development system, try building from source code and
add -DCK_REDIR to the CFLAGS. If it compiles without complaint, then it
should work *if* your version of sz/rz allows its standard i/o to be
redirected.
If you don't have a Xenix development system, maybe someone else out there
who does will be willing to give it a shot and report back.
