  19. Hi!
  20.  
  21. Consider this:
  22.  
  23. kermit def \%p abcd,tak myfile.ini
  24.  
  25. Suppose I call kermit (MSDOS) from another program and that in the script
  26. myfile.ini my password ("abcd" in this example) is referenced via the %p
  27. variable. This works great but it seems that when I use this command line
  28. form I cannot ALT-X from the terminal emulator session back to the kermit
  29. prompt - it exits kermit completely. I am doing it this way because I don't
  30. want to store my password in a file.
  31.  
  32. Does anyone know how to do this while still allowing the user to flip between
  33. his active session and the kermit prompt?
  34.  
  35. Thanks!
