Those calls were I meant by "having it search through the users' search path."

I wish that the NeXT had the "run" command.  It has the same syntax as
"system", but it requires an absolute pathname, as "run" does *no*
searching through the path.  It's therefore the fastest way to execute
another program from within your program....
