Hmm... it turns out that there must be something related to working with the
WshShell that isn't supported *inside* Rev for the "do as" command. You'll
have to use the older (pre-2.9) version of the script instead (which *does*
work, althought there's a slight pause as it has to write out the file and
execute it first).
