  24. : I've been doing it by:
  25. :
  26. :     kermit < file.scr
  27. :
  28. : but the script doesn't seem to do everything as it should.
  29. :
  30. Scripts are programs that often involve jumping around, looping, etc.
  31. You can't do that with standard input.  Tell Kermit to "take" the
  32. file.  For MS-DOS Kermit, "kermit take file.scr".
