Question on .profile login script

Hey everyone,

I'am a little new here and experincing Unix for the first time. I was wondering if somone could help me with this question i'am a bit stuck on

Looking at the content of .profile login script
The .profile file is in your login directory. It is a startup script file containing shell (unix) commands. The system executes the UNIX commands in this file each time you login. To see the content of this file issue the following command from your login directory:
cat .profile

Answer the question: Looking at the list of directories in the PATH shell variable, state whether shell looks at current working directory for the command you typed?

Looking at PATH i would say no, it does not look at the current directory you have to specify it.??

Thank you in advance,

Chris
