RE: STRPCCMD

Adam, 


This is a slash:            /
This is a backslash:  \


That's interesting.  I was told and have always believed that it was the
other way round, i.e. "/" was a backslash because your pen moves "backwards"
(top right to bottom left) from the direction of writing (left to right)
when you write it.

Ah well, you live and learn as they say.  :-)
