I wasnt around when the ideas for AmigaDOS were first formed, but I can say
that "Execute" does look in the "S:" directory for script type files. This
is where I keep mine and using an alias for execute (X) it makes life real
nice.
(Yes I know the 1.3 shell can eliminate my typing "X " - but I still like
my shell better. Thanx for the tip though ;-)
