VMS KERMIT (otherwise known as KERMIT-32) does not automatically take an
initialization file, as far as I remember.  However, you can use the TAKE
command (as in TAKE filename.type ) to process a personalized initialization
sequence.  Since KERMIT-32 is no longer being refined, you may wish to move
over to C-KERMIT 4E(070), dated 29 Jan 88, which does operate under VMS and
which will automatically process the initialization file sys$login:KERMIT.INI
upon entry.  You can obtain the source files for C-KERMIT 4E(070) from Columbia
University (internet host cu20b.columbia.edu, anonymous login, files are
in K2:), or I can send you a VMS_SHAR set of the sources.

    Minds of the strongest and most active powers fall below mediocrity and
    labor without effect, if confined to uncongenial pursuits.  And it is
    thence to be inferred, that the results of human exertion may be
    immensely increased by diversifying its objects.
