RT once stressed that it is *very important* that directories keep their slash.
It's not a Windows vs other platforms issue. The platform is rebol, so if there is a problem reading directory paths with a slash on some platforms, then that is an issue for RT to solve. We in rebol-land can just assume that all directories finish with a slash. I also don't think there is a need to contact RT about this minor matter. Let's just fix the code and resubmit to the library. The reason for the slash removal is probably just for display formatting purposes, I'd guess.
