PRTHI is an aips verb.  This means that it is a subroutine inside AIPS
itself not a separate program.  You invoke it by saying
    PRTHI
I have made the aips parser smart enough that
    GO PRTHI
is translated into
    TPUT PRTHI; PRTHI
(and all other verbs).  But
    TASK='PRTHI'; GO
will fail with the messages you are seeing.
