My apology; I read that entirely differently.  And on that, it is not a good
idea to have current directory ( . ) in one's path for security reasons
since rouge scripts may be run accidentally that way.  As you say, one
cannot stop this kind of thing in Winblows, and that's a shame.

It is also not very good practice to specify #!/path/shell in your scripts
as a general rule.  I did this regularly on a SunOS system because it used
the bourne shell as a default while I prefer korn.  Rather than change those
on System i to be /bin/qsh, I would delete them altogether.  They are little
more than documentary there, and could be a source for trouble, especially
when porting.
