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.

Many Thanks,

   Gene
