Um, it already works.  Or at least, my setup does.  When it's presented with
the name of a file which has its script bit set, WShell executes the file.
Oh yes, said script file should reside either in the current directory or 
in S:.  I don't know that WShell even uses c:execute to do this; I 
don't think so.

C:Execute still has its uses, though...for all those scripts 
without their bits set right :-)
