As others have said already, you can specify the path to the command.

However, I'd like to know why the shell does not honour the users PATH?

I've set both bash and tcsh paths to include /usr/local/bin, sw/bin and
sw/sbin. So, my bash path looks like this:

PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sw/bin:/
sw/sbin/b in:/usr/X11R6/bin

Supposedly bash is the shell default, but I can't get this from AS:

set myPath to do shell script "env | grep PATH"

-->"PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/martinorpen"

Anybody know where *this* path is specified?
