It's not a problem, per se, but Jess will see the path
c:\\myJessDirectory\\scriptlib.clp, the exact contents of the Java
String as produced by the Java lexer. The Jess lexer places no
special meaning on the character '\', so the doubles are not
removed. Jess will pass precisely these characters to the Java
FileReader constructor. In my experience, windows system calls are
fairly forgiving in what they'll accept for path names: double
backslashes are fine, forward slashes are equally fine, even mixtures
of the two like "\/" will work perfectly well. So although the four
backslashes in a row don't hurt, they don't specifically help, and two
would be just fine.
