NOoooo....

Same machine as before (RedHat-6.1/2); "." is usually not in my path:

bash$ uname -a
Linux altair.microdata.fr 2.2.16-3smp #1 SMP Mon Jun 19 19:00:35 EDT 2000
i686 unknown
bash$ echo '#!/bin/sh' > tst.sh
bash$ echo 'echo $0' >> tst.sh
bash$ chmod a+x tst.sh
bash$ ./tst.sh
./tst.sh
bash$ tst.sh
sh: tst.sh: command not found
bash$ PATH=.:$PATH
bash$ tst.sh
./tst.sh
bash$
