My understanding, from years past, is that "source <file>" (or ". <file>") is _exactly_ the same as "<file>", except that it's running in _this_ shell rather than in a subshell. Thus it is able to affect environment variables that subsequent commands can inherit, etc.
If "." is not in your PATH, and you want to source a file that's right there, you have to ". ./<file>" just as you'd expect. If that's not what bash is doing, then it's wrong. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
