I don't use kermit 95, I use 3.15 for dos and find APC very useful.
The mskermit "run doscommand " command allows someone to run commands on
the local machine - when apc unchecked is toggled on . I don't know how apc
works with kermit95?
Someone recently suggested giving permission in the local
.ini file for only certain macros to be used as apc strings - without
generally allowing access to the local machine. Though this might not be
absolutely secure, it could be an _additional_ and very useful option.
If there is a "run command" wih K95 and what that command can do
will be obvious to someone who uses kermit95 - but I just don't know.
What would prevent the implementation of "run" on K95 is not obvious
to me right now, though the great utility of having this ability - is.
It also seems that turning on capslock either with a dos or windows
program is very possible - whether such a program can readily be found
instead of written is another question.
