  11. Gerald Schlaback correctly points to the fact that Kermit scripts don't
  12. know anything about terminal emulation; they just read the incoming data
  13. stream, escape codes and all.  This is not a problem when setting up a
  14. dialogue (for sign-on, for example), since it simply looks for the characters
  15. you want, but the screen-dump would be meaningless to a script, since it has
  16. no concept of a screen.
  17.  
  18. Session logging also logs everything, so that the resulting file isn't a pure
  19. data file, but can be replayed as a terminal session.  If your library has
  20. a line-by-line mode (no emulation), I suppose that would work.
