Trouble with COMMAND in Quick

[Brent Gillan]

I'm assuming the error message displayed is from the command labelled
"Using link". It looks like the variable HOMEDIR conatins
"./home/gener/v63oln" .  Is the "./" (dot slash) supposed to be there ? 
If you are running the app from the /home/gener directory, then the
shell is looking for the "home" directory under your current working
directory. IE. /home/gener/home/gener/v63oln. Try creating a directory
/home/gener/bin and putting your shell scripts there. Add this directory
to your PATH (set it in you .profile). Make sure this directory is in
the PATH variable before "./" (if "./" is in your PATH) otherwise it
will search your current directory before /home/gener/bin. You should
not have to use the full path location when executing the script. HP-UX
should search through the directories specified in the PATH variable
until it finds the script.
