hpbin.sys is not in your path

makes sense because your fully-qualifying 'ls'

yes, you want 'hpbin.sys' as part of your path.  there's no pressing
need (that i'm aware of) to state it as '/SYS/HPBIN'.  it sounds too
like perhaps someone has added '.' to your path.  that's a bad thing
and should be removed.  regard /bin, that directory should be populated
with links pointing back to the files in .hpbin.sys.

because posix is fully-integrated into mpe (vs bolted on), it's
critical for hppath to be set at logon time.  that's probably best done
thru a system-level logon udc.  you do want to invoke the shell as
others have recommended with the '-L' option.  do NOT change
/etc/profile.  you don't 'own' that file.  in the (unlikely?) event
that the operating system is updated, that file will be overwritten.
instead there should be provisions in /etc/profile to invoke
/etc/profile.local.  that's the file you will want to customize as
necessary.  you can have .exrc and .profile (for example) in your logon
group which will provide even more customization if you need.    - d
