>From Joe Doupnik, two minor fixes to Alpha 3:

1. Correct bug where an IF statement's command ending in a substitution
   variable causes the end of command to be missed and thus the text of
   the following command is joined to this command. For example,
       ..., if def \%3 set term type \%3, if success connect

2. Modify the GET command to accept remote and local filenames on the
   GET command line, to be in alignment with C Kermit. In this case a
   remote filename containing spaces must be placed within curly braces.
   For example,  GET {remote filename with spaces} dosfile.txt.

It's in ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin/msk316.zip.

As with previous Alphas, you can put this right in your MS-DOS Kermit
directory, unzip it, and test it without disturbing your production version
of MS-DOS Kermit.  Send reports to [e-mail].
