[Pythonmac-SIG] Yet another problem with path

[Pascal Bompard]

Yes, I am aware that I could do that. I chose to only demonstrate the  
full path method rather than both ways to access the file in my example.

The problem remains though, that every time I want to run a script in  
that directory, I'd have to type out the entire path, which is not  
ideal.

Surely there must be a work around to allow me to only type in the  
script name, at least I assume there must be?
