HI.

I've got a few of questions.  People have suggested using '.' delimiters to 
build full variable names (path names).  Since '.' has historically been a 
legal part of a variable name, would it perhaps be better to use ':', '\', or 
'|' instead?  And why is '/' forbidden?  Is it used internally somehow, or 
reserved for just such a time as this?

Grace and peace,

Jim
