It can't.  The shell that runs startup goes away after the script is
finished. Its internal variables, like path, go away.

Shell+ does search its path.  OS-9 only knows about the current
executable directory.

This might work IF you had support and any other subroutine modules in
your CXD.

RMA is a different beast from ASM.  From what I've seen they aren't
really source-compatible with each other.
