[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ vi bin/test.py
[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ chmod a+x bin/test.py
[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ bin/test.py
['bin/test.py']
[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH; export PATH
[wulfraed at beastie wulfraed]$ test.py
['/home/wulfraed/bin/test.py']

        Looks like BASH handles it that way.

        Hmm... I used to use tcsh a decade ago (on my Netcom shell account it 
gave similar syntax as my Amiga command line interpreter); 
unfortunately it has been too long for me to try setting up a test here.
