        where should binaries go ? ~/cbb
        where should libraries go ? ~/cbb/lib
To make sure I always set the PWD directory, I wrote a shell script:
        PATH=~gps/cbb:$PATH
        export PWD=`pwd`        # env var needed, ? csh relic ?
        cbb
Which I ran and loaded the demo file from the source tree.
                File Load - browse back to
                /tmp/pkgs_ftp/cbb-0.64/demo/cbb-demo.cbb
