APC is a rather limited mechanism with all sorts of security considerations.
The more powerful you make it, the less secure it becomes.
The next round of Kermit software releases will include a far tighter
coupling of client and server, including such items as remote procedure
calls, execution of local or remote shell commands or programs with
assignment of their results to variables, etc.
Watch this space for announcements.
