in the PATH directory list."

Though I like UNIX' flexibility in establishing/using paths, I've seen
systems that always ASSUMED the current directory BEFORE traipsing down
the path (I find such assumptions odious).

Doug, would you please expand upon your statement (above)?  I feel others
besides myself would appreciate knowing the hidden (?) pitfalls.

Thank you!
