Firstly, the abuse of 'cat' as I suggested is quite wonky, indeed. 
I still sometimes do it like that though, for no reason other than typing
quicker than I think at times.

I just wanted to say quickly that I'd recommend *not* ever taking '.' into
your path - when someone wants you to execute something and places it into a
directory where both have write rights and names it like the binary you're
supposed to call, it's going to get executed first.
