Whoops, I hadn't thought of this. '\' is already used as the character for 
continuing a command over several lines. This was never a problem before,
because there were no commands for which you needed to specify a local
directory.

It's easily fixed by putting the argument in quotes or brackets, so that the
backslash is no longer the last character on the line:
  LOCALCHARTDIR "images\"
I shall document this in the next version! Thanks for pointing it out.
