"Because I don't wanna play by the rules!" is not a rationale. So you have to specify a path -- so what? The way things stand at the moment, if I were to drop a gettext.sh in my ~/bin (which is quite likely, except that I don't like to put a .sh on my helper scripts) your shell scripts would suddenly go tits-up in a most unpleasant fashion. Personally, *that* would be enough to make me want to hardcode the path. - Matt
