Interesting. For me, that would make no sense and would be a big inconvenience 
if it were assumed in my scripts(although it's not as if it's ever likely to 
be forced on me, heh). You know where you are with dotslash if you want it - 
quite literally of course.

I do keep a pathed-up-for-that-user folder in every home directory 
(/home/me/scripts or whatever), which is a fairly common take on the same 
sort of thing, I suppose. :-)
