It makes SL> the above problem go away. No. The dot files for the shell could just re-munge your PATH back anyways. A Posix shell looks for $ENV. I tried to solve this problem in the distant past by adding this hack to all the scripts in lib-src: PATH=${PATH:-/usr/bin:/bin}:`dirname $0 2>/dev/null`; export PATH This hack requires that $0 contain the full path to the script, and that dirname exists. Why would this this not be the case? martin
