Thanks for pointing this out (but it would have been better to hear about it
during the 18-month long Beta test :-).
Massive changes were made to MS-DOS Kermit's command parser to make it more
like that of C-Kermit and K95 (by adding tons of features -- loops, arrays,
etc), and this is evidently a side effect. If it's patchable (without side
effects) we'll issue a patch, otherwise and/or meanwhile you've got a
workaround, and the braced syntax should also work in 3.14.
Thanks again for the report.
