Returning to this 3 week old chestnut, (apologies for delay - my
second child was born in the interim), and thanks to all who attempted
to help, but I am still struggling with this issue.

If you have scripts you want to run from anywhere, make them
executable:
This is exactly what I need to occur with this particular script
chmod a+x MyScript.py
permissions are set to 755 (i.e. full permissions)
and put: #!usr/bin/env python at the top.
yes, that is in place
Then either:
put them in a standard place that should be on your PATH, like:
/usr/local/bin
or put the path to your scripts in your PATH -- often people use:
~/bin
I actually have this in my PATH,
/Users/pascal/Documents/Python/Dev/myapp
and with all the above I get:
Administrator:~ pascal$ python test.py
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'test.py': [Errno 2]
No such file or directory
whereas calling the script from within it's parent directory does work.
What could I possibly be doing wrong here?
do buy a book or surf the web for info about using the terminal on
OS-X -- it's a great skill to have.
You're right. I have recently acquired a great book called "From Bash
to Z-Shell", but it's tough to retain all the tricks when I use the
terminal so seldom.
