I am _positive_ that filePro is _not_ confused by one using
forward slashes on Windows filePro User Menu command lines.

I am fairly certain that filePro translates the / or \ in
pathnames in all it's stuff to be the one appropriate for
the OS.

Also, note that the error I was getting disappeared when I
dropped the @ from the command line, with no other changes
to it.

I'll appreciate your findings.

Bob
