  26. I get C:\KERMIT\DIALUPS.TXT  
  27.  
  28. I discovered the dialing error occurs after a non-valid command is
  29. entered (the error message: "?word "some_non_valid_word" not useable here".
  30. Then when I try to dial, dialups.txt is not found even though I am in
  31. c:\kermit.  
  32.  
  33.  
  34. "cd" , "cd .", or moving to another dir and back to c:\kermit corrects
  35. the problem.
