K/2 is a console application. Does REXECD provide a full console
environment for it to execute in?
Or does it simply expect everything to happen via stdio?

K2.INI is loaded when K2.EXE starts. There is no need to TAKE it
from within your script.

Does the script work when you simply run it without REXECD?
Does it only fail when you exec it from REXECD?
When there is a program crash please address questions to
kermit-support@columbia.edu. There is little that anyone else could
do to help.
