You can tell this system antedates X windows, can't you?

Thanks to everyone.  I was hoping there was a magic word, the way there
is if you change your PATH, but I guess not.

I have checked in a virtual tty, and it works the way I expect there.

Meanwhile, the fiddling with the permissions of the directory seems to
have broken the application.  This was a bad gumption trap; I have gone
and roasted and ground coffee beans and brewed coffee.  Maybe I will
make more progress on redesigning my website after some coffee.
