	Problem -- if the OP's PATH had contained the location of the add2path
script, the OP might not have needed to search for it... (presuming their
configuration also was set up to treat .py files as executable, entering
win_add2path would be all that was needed to run it on a command line)

	"where" only searches the locations defined in PATH; the PowerShell
(and the old command prompt equivalent) would find the file regardless of
where it is (on the partition). It, therefore, won't find copies that are
in other locations.
