[Line eater? What line ea

     Does anybody know what execute means when it says:

     EXECUTE: No K directive
     execute failed returncode 20

     Obviously, 20 means object not of appropriate type. However, the
EXECUTE binary is just fine, and the startup-sequence it fails to execute
is also just fine. I've been running this startup for some months.
     Here's the setup:
     Boot from floppy with 1.2 ROMS. Floppy startup-sequence mounts dh0:
(attached via WEDGE; it's a 5.2M partition under the OFS), and executes,
successfully, the file dh0:s/startup-transfer. Startup-transfer makes
several assigns - the necessary assigns to make dh0: my SYS: disk - and
then - 
     execute dh0:s/startup-sequence
     Startup-sequence is my normal startup sequence and is never executed.
     HOWEVER: if I type "execute dh0:s/startup-sequence" at the CLI prompt
after the error, it executes just fine. (That's how I got the Amy running
so I could make this call.)
     This really, really, pi**es me off. I hate things like this. Any help
would be greatly appreciated; reply via netmail and I'll post a summary if
there is interest...
                                                         - R'ykandar.
