Ah, the dreaded "No K directive".  Try putting the following two lines in the
offending execute script (this has gotten me too):

    .bra <
    .ket >

All will be fine.  I wish CBM could tell us why the bloody thing does this.
I had been using the SAME script on my 1000 for about 3 years, then suddenly
this crud happens.  So I put those two lines in there (the message indicates
that the parameter substitution stuff in the script got munged).  The script
used to run just fine, thank you.  I can't see any changes in the script.
In fact, a 1-year old backup of the disk does the SAME THING.  And the disks
are write protected, so they couldn't have been written on.  The 1-year old
backup hasn't seen the inside of a drive since I made it.  In fact, it's
lived inside a magnetically shieleded filing cabinet for that time.

So, how about it, CBM?  Why does execute just spotaneously decide to do this?
Can you give us a clue?  Huh?  Why?
