 I wasnt around when the ideas for AmigaDOS were first formed, but I can say
 that "Execute" does look in the "S:" directory for script type files. This
 is where I keep mine and using an alias for execute (X) it makes life real

 (Yes I know the 1.3 shell can eliminate my typing "X " - but I still like
  my shell better. Thanx for the tip though ;-)
