Oh dear, I hope only the Translator_Search_Rules/Paths points at the
Sun 3 libraries, and not the Command_Loader_Search_Paths/Rules.  I'd
really only want CP to come from the Sun 3 library.  I'd want the
operands come back with an "incomplete path specification" message
because I didn't specify //one_sun_4/4/bin/cat.
