But doesn't the ./<script_name> tell it what directory to use?  So it doesn't
need or care about the path name?  At least that's what I was always under
the impression of.

But that's something I'll have to keep in mind.

As for Will, after you edit your .bashrc or .<shell>rc make sure you source it
so it starts to read it then.
