MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit/K95 differ somewhat in this area and
quite honestly, I'm not sure what CLEAR does in MS-DOS Kermit
when the subsequent keyword is omitted (the relevant options in
this case are are INPUT-BUFFER, DEVICE-BUFFER, or BOTH).
In any case, the addition of MINPUT makes REINPUT pretty much
superfluous. See the sample scripts at:
