You can also add the other argument numbers so you can send up to nine files  
(or wildcard patterns):

   define sz !sz -r \%1 \%2 \%3 \%4 \%5 \%6 \%7 \%8 \%9 <\v(line) >\v(line)

If you give less then nine arguments, kermit only passes the ones you type.

You can also have kermit execute a command after the upload or download is  
finished.  For example, I have a simple program that beeps X times, where X  
is an argument.  So I have "sz" defined as:

   define sz !sz -r \%1 \%2 \%3 \%4 \%5 \%6 \%7 \%8 \%9 <\v(line) >\v(line),
             !beep 5

(Newline added for clarity only.)  This way I can go into the next room and  
still know when the download is finished.
