Hmm.. here we go...  The K Directive message occurs when you have
redirection inside a script file.  The execute command uses "<" and ">" to
identify .key arguments in the file, and if you've got something like "type
'hello' >ram:", it thinks the ">" is part of a .key, and bombs.  If you put

.bra {
.ket }

at the beginning of the script, it will use { instead of < and } instead of
>, and the script will work fine.  Just remember that if you ARE using a
.key, you have to change the brackets around those arguments in the file,
too.
