You can use either / or \ in your path names. However, the idea is that
the J system and system scripts will internally use only / , and will
convert arguments accordingly. This is much like the line separator -
the system uses LF, but writes out Windows scripts using CRLF.
You can see this in the J7 beta, for example:
>{:"1 UserFolders_j_
c:/j7w/user/projects
c:/j7w/base/ide
c:/j7w/base/main
...
