This can actually be fixed very quickly. If you go into your .profile (in
your home directory) or into /etc/profile (if you are doing this globaly
for all users) and find your "PATH=" statement. Add "." to the "PATH="
line and you will be able to run anything without doing that ./... thing.
Reason it is happening is that when you type a command on a unix shell
prompt, it will only run things either explicitly or if it's in the path.
If "." (Current directory) is not in the path, and the directory you're in
isn't one that's in the path normally (Like /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, etc.)
then the shell doesn't know that's a runnable command.

Thanks for the help. I found out what the trick is on the Corel news
server. You have to type ./xwp, not xwp. A simple but strange annoyance.
