	Almost.

	Here is the relevant part from KERMIT.BLI:
==============================================================================
! 3.1.056	By: Nick Bush				On: 28-August-1984
!		Add a TAKE (or @) command.  Also perform an initialization
!		file on startup.  This file is either VMSKERMIT.INI or
!		whatever file is pointed to by the logical name VMSKERMIT.
==============================================================================
