I need to softLink a program to all working directories, so the user doesn't have to type

../../../../program argz

Kinda like edit, rm, help, programs, lua, cp, reboot, etc

Is this possible?

How about we take a look at how it's done by computercraft. Looking at the lua files can be very informative.

The shell has the same concept of paths.

shell.setPath(shell.path()..":"..directory)

Adding "directory" to your path variable will make every executables in that folder runnable from everywhere.
However you have to run it everytime you boot up the computer, so it needs to be put in a startup file.

if you want a single item instead of the directory you may want to use an alias instead: http://computercraft.../Shell.setAlias
