Path issue in Bash

This is probably something simple. I'm in the process of writing a simple script (my most complex one to date) and am having issues with the path. I can run my script directly, but I cannot get it to run from the $PATH. My script is located in ~/bin, and is currently titled "test". This is my console output (running SuSE 9.3):

Code:

~> which test

~> which bin/test

bin/test

~> which /home/user/bin/test

/home/user/bin/test

~> echo $PATH

/home/user/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin

As I said, it's probably a no-brainer. It's just got me stumped.

Is your script named test? If so, it's name conflicts with the already existent test command, and you should name it something else.

Thank you. Still took me a few minutes to figure it out. It's a bash built-in. I'll rename it.
