Wei Ku answered your question, but here's my 2 cents worth:

It works like unix.  Unless you have a "." in your path, you have to
execute files in the current dir like this:

../runthis

If the file is hidden (i.e., .login; .profile) then you do this:

../.profile
../.login

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"[email-masked]" with one line of text: "help".
