#218 Update and expand rexxref 7.2.1.1, "Locating External Rexx Files"
- Expanded from two elements (list of locations, extensions) to three. The first and new one is the filespec, which can have or not a path. Further, a path may be relative or absolute.
- Changed "extension path" to "additional path" for application-defined paths. "Extension path" (which btw doesn't occur anywhere else in rexxref) is misleading and can be confused with the discussion about file extensions below.
- Changed "extension types" to "extensions".
- Added several examples.
- Added a note for the (admittedly rare) case where one of the supplied paths (e.g, in REXX_PATH) is itself relative and therefore a double prepending is needed (e.g. current directory + REXX_PATH element + relative path supplied by the user).

Sigh. "diff", not "patch". Sorry, that's my first one. Fixed.
