Ah, rats. The problem with the old :- syntax was that it NEVER seemed to
be adding the local plugins directory, even when NPX_PLUGIN_PATH wasn't
already set. I tried some local test scripts and could never get it to
play right.
What I really want to do is just add the local directory to the plugin
path, period, whether it's already got something in it or not. I'm going
to change the syntax to
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=${NPX_PLUGIN_PATH}:${HOME}/.netscape/plugins: (etc)
for the time being.
P.S. I hate shell scripting syntax.
