- Yeah, (heh-heh-heh) don't call it "test"!! That is a command built-in
- to the shell. For example, try typing "type test" at the Bourne or
- Korn shell command prompt. See what it says. Then read the man page
- for the shell an look at the order in which commands locations are
- searched; the PATH variable is last.
