I am having a little difficulty reading from commands that only output a
single line such as crypt. I have a program that generates a logfile name.
from ksh...
$ rat -y
/opt/rat/log/none-cornellr.log
from kermit...
C-Kermit>open !read rat -y
C-Kermit>read line
C-Kermit>echo \m(line)
C-Kermit>
Whereas:
C-Kermit>open !read ls -l
C-Kermit>read line
C-Kermit>echo \m(line)
total 1768
C-Kermit>read line
C-Kermit>echo \m(line)

C-Kermit>read line
C-Kermit>echo \m(line)

The manual dosen't give much away, just a VMS dir example!
I'm sure this ain't a bug, what am I missing?
I am using 6.0.192 for Solaris 2.x.
