This absolutely should not work. If it says to do that in the
sage docs (I guess it does), it is a major bug in the sage docs.
What you might do is run sage and type
sage: install_scripts('%s/software/bin/'%os.environ['HOME'])
This will, among other things, put an hg script in that directory,
which contains this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ cat hg
#!/bin/sh
sage -hg $*
