You mean that U*ix does not automatically add the current directory 
to PATH?

That should be *well* known to all bash users :) :)

To a newbie it should suffice (and IMHO is clearer) to say that "." 
must be *explicitly* added to PATH (and exported).

*very* installation dependent and doing *much* more than stated 
intentions; try:
export PATH=.:$PATH
to have a DOS-compatible behaviuour, or:
export PATH=$PATH:.
to have an *almost* UNIX-approved behaviour (having . in PATH is 
regarded as an "unsafe" practice).
