The normal use of "<" and ">" within a script file is for delimiting
parameters that were passed into the script.  Thus, redirection from
within a script file yields the "No K directive" error message.  By using
the .bra and .ket directives, you change the parameter delimiters to
something else, and thereby allow redirections.
