     When loading an extension, PWB searches for the executable file in
     the following sequence:
 
        1. If an environment variable or a full path is specified, PWB
           searches the appropriate directories. If neither is
           specified, PWB searches the current directory.
 
        2. If the desired extension is not found and its name is a base
           name without an extension, PWB appends the extension .MXT
           and repeats step 1.
