I found (after too much exploration (;-)) that /usr/bsd/which will not
find an executable in the current directory if is specified in the 
environment's $path as in:

set path = (. ~/bin /usr/bsd /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin)

The shell (at least csh) finds them with out trouble (as
long as they are really there!) 

How come? (I can't believe that this hasn't turned up before.
