WShell (Bill Hawes' shell) does this if the rumored script bit is on.
The rumored AmigaShell (the shell of the rumored 1.3) also does it if
the rumored script bit is on.

One thing about WShell (I haven't tried it with the rumored
AmigaShell) is that since S: isn't usually in your path, it won't look
there for script files, like Execute does, so you have to add it to
your path, or keep your script files someplace in your existing path.

Note that at this time, AmigaShell, script bits, and 1.3 are figments
of my imagination.
