Yes, I too have noticed that Kermit doesn't seem to expand wildcards properly when you give them to its command interpreter. A workaround is to use the shell to expand wildcards: kermit -s *.c *.h will send all of the .c and .h files in the current directory to your PC (or whatever). I haven't tracked down the reason why Kermit won't do wildcard expansion by itself. Perhaps in my copious free time... m. __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." -- Vice President Dan Quayle
