Don't quite understand what you're getting at, but:
<quote> either by issuing a 'host cd MyNewWorkingDir'
> or some other method </quote>
so you changed your current working directory... Yes,

<quote> and then be able to go down the

errh... if you try to run my_proc (_at_myproc), and
myproc.sql is NOT in the current directory,
then SQLPATH will be traversed.
