I knew both directories existed but didn't realise they were 
the same :-)

I've just found, to my surprise, that windows doesn't 
need/use the shebang convention (at least for python). You 
can just run

> hello_world.py

(
where hello_world.py is

print "hello world!"
)

Is this some brilliant advance by M$ or is there some 
security reason unix doesn't allow the same thing (ignoring 
the fact that ./ is in the PATH for windows)
