Q: executing shell scripts in beta 19


Hello,

In Beta 18 I used to be able to execute scripts that are in the path 
using just a 'sh scriptname' type command line.
As of beta 19 I have to include the full path to the script, as 
otherwise the script fails to execute, returning an error "can't open 
scriptname".

"ls -l" shows that the scripts don't have an 'x' attribute set, which 
they should have, as they start with #! as supposedly is being 
checked (according to the FAQ) (by sh.exe I assume). May be the 
missing attribute is the problem. However, chmod doesn't help. Is 
this a bug or have I missed something that will get the scripts to 
run in the way they did in beta 18?

Thanks in advance for useful suggestions.
