Note: the argument must follow Jess' rules for valid atoms
or strings. On UNIX systems, this presents no particular
problems, but Win32 filenames may need special treatment. In
particular: pathnames should use either '\\' (double
backslash) or '/' (forward slash) instead of '\' (single
backslash) as directory separators; and pathnames which
include a colon (':') or a space character (' ') <i>must</i>
be enclosed in double quotes.
