[comp.sys.amiga.introduction] .K directive in AmigaDOS scripts

C506634@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU (Eric Edwards) (01/13/91)

What does the .k directive do?
Lately, Fred Fish has been starting his xicon scripts with:
.K ""

This works fine with C= execute but breaks with ARP execute, giving
"Bad Arg K"  Unfortunately, this means that an xicon or icon script breaks
arp is installed, even if you have C= execute in c:

I'd like to be able to patch this line so that it works with both C= and ARP
execute.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Please, no ARP flames.  I'll dump ARP when I get 2.0, and not a moment sooner.
