What's the fix when on clicking a Shell icon the window opens with the words "No K directive" "Execute failed .. " This is a Shell, not a plain CLI, but one which can't find the Shell-Startup file. I'm curious as to what's wrong in this case.

Your script is using redirection, and the version of Execute you are using is seeing that, and expecting variables. You can add .bra { .ket } to the script, or swap your redirection (use >out <int rather than <in >out ) or you can add a dummy .key statement to the beginning of the script. (the script probably being s:shell-startup, unless your shell icon specifies a different one) andy

Thank you Andy. .bra{ and .ket} fixed the problem. Is there an Execute which acts differently? For 1.2, perhaps?

I did some work on Execute for 2.1 which make it a lot more likely to make the correct decision over whether it needed .bra/.ket. I'm pretty sure that got in there. andy
