We don't support expect either. You might not be aware that C-Kermit
includes its own script programming language, fully documented in the
manual, "Using C-Kermit":
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
This language is portable across many platforms (UNIX, VMS, DOS, Windows,
etc) and it is integrated into Kermit so you don't get into the kind of
trouble you have when you try to control C-Kermit from expect. So as the
doctor says, "if it hurts, don't do it". Just get a copy of the C-Kermit
manual and read the chapters on automation, as well as on troubleshooting
of connections, etc, and then if you have specific questions or problems to
report, then send them to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
