Dennis,

What I mean is that by default, the current directory isn't searched.

As Roger mentions, I think you can add the . to your path, but it does
have to be explicitly added.

In contrast to DOS/Widows/IBM i where the current directory (library
for the i) is implicitly searched. Though perhaps the i is not really
implict...as a DSPLIBL shows the current library explicitly enough :)

Perhaps reversing the statement, on DOS/Windows/IBM i, you can't
prevent the current directory (library) from being searched. On
UNIX/Linux you can by leaving the . out of your path.

Say, what?!?!?!  Umm... pardon me but what DO you suppose the PATH
environment variable does, then?
