Paul,

  I'm curious of your reasons why this isn't the right thing to
do.

  NOTE: I don't have a strong opinion about this (to be honest, I
haven't thought about this particular topic), so this message is
not a red herring.  I'm not interested in a religious war over
this, so I ask all those thus inclined to show some restraint.

  I'm not sure how to do this.  When is $cdpath searching
installed?


  I use es-0.84 on SunOS 4.1.3.
