[ILUG] which which

[ILUG] which which

Hi, all.
I've taken to a policy of extreme paranoia over the last few weeks, and
I've found a few things that are somewhat bemusing; perhaps some genii can
enlighten me.
My main problem is the 'which' command; if I type 'which which', I'm told
that it's an internal shell command. However, if I run 'newwhich which'
(newwhich is a which I took from a different, secure box), it gives me
'/usr/bin/which'.
I'm not (quite) panicking about this apparent disparity, given that all
boxes I'm using have a which command, but I'd like to know for sure. Any
ideas?

TIA,
robert
