Yep, had done so.

By the way, I perhaps should have pointed out (though you might have 
guessed) that I'm running Enlightenment on a Mac under X11 1.0 / 
XFree86 4.3.0

I can launch applications OK from the prompt in a terminal window (viz. 
% nmapfe rather than % /sw/bin/nmapfe); only in the Enlightenment menus 
(file.menu, editors.menu, etc) do I need to state the full path ... 
which makes me wonder whether this is an Enlightenment-specific thing 
...

Hhmmm ... I'm stumped.  My /etc/profile file reads:

	# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

	PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
	export PATH

so I guess it ain't there.  But since I set the $PATH from the prompt, 
I've no idea where
	/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
is defined

cheers
