Yeah, that's one of those things that's a gotcha or a feature depending 
on your level of advancement.  It's so easy to forget the difference and 
then it bites you, esp. in cases like mine where the current directory 
is on my path, so they are functionally the same here even tho they are 
not the same.  Come to think of it, that might be another thing that 
whence should control.
