Yes, it probably could be emphasized / highlighted better. The idea is
introduced at the bottom of page 328. The command-line syntax is documented
in Appendix I (p.461-462) and again in the UNIX Appendix on pages 508-510.
At the bottom of page 509, it explains that the "kermit < scriptfile" method
is not recommended because Kermit can't "rewind" its standard input, but
doesn't explicitly mention the fact that if its standard input is redirected,
writing to standard output is inhibited. We'll clarify this in the next
edition. Thanks.
