It's a bug in 6.1. It will be fixed in the next test version, to be
announced soon.
But not that in any case, you need space both before and after the "="
if you intend it to be the parameter separator. Also (refer to earlier
thread on this topic), this form, though still supported, is
"deprecated" in favor of the getopt()-style "--", as in:
kermit filename -x -x -x -- p1 p2 p3
where the -x's are Kermit options, and the pn's are paramaters for the
script "filename".
