Ronald,

I ran across the same problem.  What was wrong was the line ends on the exec 
file was wrong.  The line ends for an Apple is just a <cr> and not <cr> <lf> 
combination.  What I did was to write an Applesoft program to remove the <lf>'s 
and then I could exec the file, no problem.

Good Luck!
