Glad it was almost a success ;) Interesting, thats not something I
noticed before, I have never wished "." in my PATH, I should point out
of course that "." in your PATH is a security risk waiting to happen
;)
Nevertheless it should not be removing the entry unless its a dup. I
have quickly confirmed the behaviour it is defn stripping all "."
entries.
*sigh* the script needs some work .. I'll play with it again tomorrow....
Thanks for the feedback,
Mark
