kylixpath is a script - if you use the dot infront, it runs it under the
context of the current shell - basically, the same as typing in the commands
that are in the file onto the command line, unlike if you execute a shell
script, then it gets its own copy of the shell, and most path etc changes
are not held by the parent shell - unless you use the likes of export
or something like that :)
comeone Mark, you of all people should know that :)
