That's what I thought, too. Before I started IDL, I verified that
I could run "myprog" from any directory as a result of extending
the path correctly. But subsequently, I'm not able to SPAWN the
program from within IDL without indicating its exact location.

I get the UNIX pathname BEFORE I extended the path. Not only that,
but if I try to extend the PATH environment variable from within
IDL, I still can't run "myprog". Boy, am I confused!
