I have a startup-sequence that ends with the line:
execute foobar
with NO carriage return at the end of the line. (you know, emacs would tell 
you: file does not end with a new line, etc...)
What happens is that during boot, AmigaDOS fails with error:
Execute: No K directive.
which means that in fact, AmigaDOS tried to 
execute foobar <garbage>
since the foobar script does not have any .Key specification.
I'm not considering this as a bug, but maybe I should ;-)
This is under 1.2 if it matters.
