[Not that the first line really matters anyway]

Thanks to hcobb@walt.cc.utexas.edu, I solved the problem which was causing
my script to bomb with the error "EXECUTE: No K Directive"  The solution
was to begin the file with two lines: ".bra {" and ".ket }".  

I still do not understand two things about this problem:  First, and most
importantly, why could I find no reference whatsoever to this error message
in any description of EXECUTE or on any page listed under "error" in the
index of any Amiga documentation?  (Maybe I forgot to put on my glasses :-)
Second, why was it that I got the error message if the script was called
from my startup-sequence, but not if it was called from the CLI the 
startup-sequence bombed into???

      I know enough about epistemology to know that I don't know anything
