Just like cars--spend $$$'s, and all your problems go away! :-)

Well, it depends on your shell. For testsh and sh, you need to do
something like:

        path /vsta/bin:.

For rc, I believe it's:

        path=(/vsta/bin .)

although there's a compatibility hook, and:

        PATH=/vsta/bin:.

will probably work too.

Note that the DOS hard disk in the default distribution is mounted
as /vsta, which means that /bin under DOS is /vsta/bin under VSTa.
The init file for rc is named "init.rc", as ".rcrc" doesn't work under
a DOS filesystem.
