Wshell looks at the path file in the env: directory.  This directory must
be assigned somewhere (mine is RAM:env).  I don't think Wshell looks
at the AmigaDos path at all.  So, add assign env: <somewhere> to your
startup-sequence, and edit the file env:path and add s: (or wherever
you put your script files).

Hope this helps.
