Re creating RAM:T before using T:

This is definitely not the problem.  I've DiskZapped the Execute object
code, and the problem is that Execute insists on writing its temporary
files to :T/Command-0-Txx.

I tried fixing this by altering both instances of :T to T: in the
Execute program.  This almost worked.

After patching Execute, the script would still ask for the system disk
to be un-write-protected.  However, if I hit the Cancel button, the
system instead of bombing out of the script would continue from that
point and work fine.

So now my problem is how to patch Execute so it doesn't try to get a write
lock on the ":" disk.

I think I'll solve the problem by buying ARexx.
Or by buying 1.3 when it comes out.  I've heard they solved the problem
in that release.
