Help!  I am trying to learn how to use IBM-PC Kermit-MS version 2.32/A (21 Jan
89).  The manual I have is for version 2.32 (11 Dec 88).

What I am trying to do is, from an IBM-compatible machine:

1.  Logon to a Sperry (running UNIX). 

2.  Run a C-program that will be creating a number of files, the names of
which I do not know in advance.

3.  After the program runs, allow the user to interactively choose a file (or
files) for download.

4.  Have Kermit automatically download, to a floppy disk in drive A:, one
file, allow the user to insert a different floppy, download one file, insert
another floppy, ad infinitum, until the user enters some signal to indicate
they are done.  (To clarify somewhat, I hope, parts 3 and 4 are related in
that the user should choose a file, kermit should download; the user should
choose another file, kermit should download; this should continue until the
user enters 'done' or some other similar indication)

One suggestion I have received is that we have the C-program create a script
that Kermit could use as a 'take' file.  We don't want to do this because it's
possible that some of our users may not use the Kermit for this operation.
We also want the users to have control over which/how many files are
downloaded at a given time.

One other comment:  the C-program would run immediately upon login to the
Sperry, every time we login.
