   having searched around the docs a bit it looks like kermit does batch xfers   
   differently than most bbs software would expect. you would likely just have to   
   turn 'batch' off in the protocol config and have it work one file at a time.   
   (batch toggles whether %3 is just one file by itself, or a file list file)

   @ is a sexyz parameter not a mystic one. if it finds that @ at the beginning of   
   the filename it will read that file line by line and send each of the files   
   listed. kermit doesn't support this so that's the problem.   
      
   if you're comfortable doing a little programming you could probably make a   
   script to read the lines in file.lst then run gkermit like it wants:   
      
     /usr/bin/gkermit -d /tmp/kermit-send.log -Ts file1 file2 file3   
      
   (or maybe it needs -Ts in front of every file.. don't use it so i can't test   
   it..)   
      
   then for the mystic protocol you'd just have   
      
     /wherever/yourprogram %3   
      
   and batch turned on.
