Okay, I finally have to do it.
I've used a combination of MS-Kermit, Kermit-95 and CKermit on Unix to
automate some of the drudgery in maintaining legacy phone systems.

But I've stalled on two systems that use function keys and cursor
positioning.

What I need to do:
login
invoke consmenu0
wait for the last line of the first screen to show up
cursor down four lines
output f1
wait for another screen to paint
output f1

I can't see a terminal independent way to output the \Kdnarr.
When I run kermit interactively, I have all of the cursor control and
function key usage that I need, but I can't seem to script those guys.

I have the login, waitfor stuff okay, I do that on other systems.
The only thing I am missing is the proper output for the function keys
and cursor keys.
