I think you are using 'csh', and not 'sh'. On our UN*X (System V rel.2)
'sh' will work. On another system here we have Eunice which I think is
BSD 4.1, and 'csh' does what you describe, but 'sh' works fine. I also
found that if '2' is placed in the current directory it work with 'csh'.
Apperently the 'csh' people thought we would want full path names.
