Then how do I get these results?:

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ unsetopt pathdirs        # This directory is not 
on the path

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ chmod -x ../System/somescript      # Referring 
here to somescript which is on the path.

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ somescript
zsh: permission denied: somescript              # As expected

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ . somescript
this is somescript                                          # As expected

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ chmod +x ../System/somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ somescript        # As expected
this is somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ . somescript
this is somescript                                        # As expected

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ setopt pathdirs    # But the results are unchanged:

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ chmod -x ../System/somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ somescript
zsh: permission denied: somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ . somescript
this is somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ chmod +x ../System/somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ somescript
this is somescript

/aWorking/Zsh/Source 3$ . somescript
this is somescript

... what am I doing wrong?
