Your shell will look for executables in the directories listed in the $PATH

filename when it exists in the current directory) tells the shell exactly
where to find it, so it doesn't bother looking in $PATH.

I am not giving any path , I am in that particular directory and then i
am giving mfold command .


But prefixing the file name with ./ is exactly giving its pathname.
