I was wondering if anyone else thinks d:\\foo is too complicated... or rather that it could be simplifed to d:/foo. Or if you made the shell read :\ as :\ then we would have a more uniform interface...

I'm just remembering how much I appreciated it when samba made their commands parse //host/share as well as \\\\host\\share.
