You're right!  I never noticed that before.  The problem is,
once again, that I am expecting the (k c '')^sh behaviour, but
Paul D. Swasey always thought that the rc behaviour was the way
they all behaved.  It _is_ more consistent.  I guess I'll just
have to get used to typing "./foo/bar" (I refuse to have '.' in
my path).
