Yes Don, there are other utilities in there (/usr/xpg4/bin) which are causing problem so I can't just set the PATH to prioritize this path.

Also, I don't have permissions to change any of the startup files e.g. .profile, .kshrc etc. Whatever required changes are there have to be done in this script.

Also, wisecracker, sorry can't source the script. I tried it didn't seem to work for me.
