The SRS server at DKFZ is defined as a server in EMBOSS 6.4.0.0 so you 
can use it with no extra definition:

seqret dkfz:genbank:x13666

You can also use query fields, for example:

seqret dkfz:genbank-id:x13776
seqret dkfz:genbank-acc:x13776
seqret 'dkfz:genbank-des:{amic & amir}'


The release should also support the NCBI Entrez server but there is a 
bug in parsing the header. I will add a fix to the next patch. Then you 
could also use entrez:nucleotide:x13776 which reads the genbank format 
of the entry.

Hope this helps,
