Thomas and Derrell, This worked like a charm!
I also created an alias for "create" that runs the create-application.py script with the full pathname to the tool/bin folder so that I don't have to enter the entire path myself to create a new project. Ah, life just got so much better! BTW, this may become a problem again once Linux distributions start shipping with the new python 3.0 version rather than a 2.x version - unless the toolchain for qooxdoo gets rewritten in python 3.0.
