Why yes:

Good question. The initialization files must be executed first, because the
Dialer script contains the command that makes the connection, and of course
you want all your customizations in place by the time you are online. So
then why would SET DIALER BACKSPACE not override the K95CUSTOM.INI definition?
I thought maybe there might be a clause in the code that said "don't override
any settings that the user already explicitly made" but I don't see it.
There must be an explanation though :-)
: BTW, commanding Kermit "help set dialer" does not
: enlighten. ("set dialer ?" does yield a bit of info.)
:
Because it's a secret command.
: Thanks much. I am always impressed by the great support I get for Kermit.

Even on a Sunday :-)
