For starters, the error message "No such path or directory" identifies the
sender of the message, like in the following.  Let's find out where the
error is first: can it not find "cat" or "grep" or the file?  Also, you ARE
entering this all in lower case, right?  For the filename that doesn't
matter, but for everything else it does.

> cat /no/file/name

  cat: 001-0023 Error found opening file /no/file/name. No such path or
directory. 
  /home/DLOVELADY>

> cat .profile | grepx noene

  qsh: 001-0019 Error found searching for command grepx. No such path or
directory.
  /home/DLOVELADY>
