As you write it, it's a function/command brought in by some external
plugin as demonstrated by starting vim without any startup files:

vim -u NONE
:Execute
E492: Not an editor command: Execute

With your regular (started up without the "-u NONE") vim, you can
execute

:verbose function
:verbose command

to see where various items were defined. You want to see where the
"Execute" function/command was created. Based on your invocation
description, it *sounds* like it's a custom command rather than a
function, so you can minimize the noise by issuing

:verbose command Execute

which should give you just the info needed to track down where
"Execute" is defined.

Without the definition of the Execute function it's hard to tell how
to integrate Paul's "remainder of the line" snippet with the Execute
function.
