19 How Do I Get a Session Log without All the Embedded Escape Sequences?

This can be done in Kermit versions that have true terminal emulators, such as MS-DOS Kermit and Kermit 95.

In MS-DOS Kermit:

• Don't LOG SESSION. Instead, SET PRINTER <filename>.
• Use Ctrl-Print Screen to "toggle" logging.

In Kermit 95:

• Don't LOG SESSION. Instead, SET PRINTER <filename>.
• Press the key that has the \KprtAuto Kverb assigned to it to toggle logging on and off (it is off at first). \KprtAuto is assigned to Alt-o (letter "o") by default.

The resulting file will contain only screen lines, and not the escape sequences that put them there. The mechanism used internally is called "autoprint", and works by sending each screen line to the printer or printer file when the cursor leaves it.

In UNIX and OS-9 C-Kermit, you can "set session log text". This does not filter out escape sequences, but at least it takes care of CR/LF/CRLF conversion for you; see the description of this command in "Using C-Kermit".
