If I understand you correctly, when you use su, add a '-' parameter.  Then 
when you "become" root, you log into root's home directory and get root's 
environment so that if the file is in the path you don't have to type the 
'./'.  That being said, it is an excellent security measure to ALWAYS use 
the full path to any program when running as root.
