[Coco] Odd path behaviour

[Bob Devries]

As I understand it, for a command to be run, it needs first of all to have 
its attributes set correctly, and then if the file is not in the execution 
directory, you must give a full or partial path to the file.

For example, if the file is in the current directory, and called "command" 
your command line should look like this:

/h0/datadir/command  OR
./command

I think OS9 expects that any command in a data directory is a script file, 
and as such, invokes the shell to interpret it.
