This is how I check for a failure to set port 4 when I use MSKermit 3.14
within Windows 3.1. "Set port 4" has not yet failed on the second attempt.
set com4 \x2e8 3
set port 4 ; Change if desired. If COM3 or 4, read KERMIT.BWR.
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
echo {Trying "set port 4" again}
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
sleep 2, set port 4
if equal \v(port) Bios4 -
fatal {Try repeating TAKE MSCUSTOM.INI}
