The only specifiers I see being of any use to Kermit (or any external transfer
protocol, for that matter), are:

        %f the path/filename to transfer for single-file transfers, or
           the filelist for batch transfers
        %s the paths/filenames of all files to transfer (for batch transfers)

and if it's a socket based program:

        %h the active socket descriptor

For 16-bit FOSSIL programs (like FDSZ), the FOSSIL port used by the program is
irrelevant, as the Synchronet FOSSIL driver automatically directs the I/O to
the correct node.

I can't imagine any of the other command-line specifiers being of any use to
the external transfer protocol (Kermit or otherwise), but of course, they are
documented in Appendix A of the sysop manual, and you can look at the stock
FDSZ command-lines as examples.
