You can insert this last line in your startup file:

shell</1

That will cause a second instance of the shell to be forked, which 
inherits its default I/O paths from the parent shell (the one running 
the startup file).

Of course, you now have three instances of the shell running, including 
sysgo (the first shell forked the second shell with 'startup' as its 
input, and the third shell is the shell you forked within the startup 
file)

Do a procs after adding the above line to startup, and you'll see what 
I mean.

Another option is to use the path= command in Shell+

path=/dd/cmds:/r0/cmds

Now both directories get searched for commands!
