Hi Ann,

I believe that I can clear up your confusion.  It is indeed the backslash
that you need to use.  Forward slashes are only used in UNIX based file
systems and Web directory structures.  In my United States computer braille
the symbol is the (ou) sign.

I hope that helps to clarify things for you.  Best wishes.

Jennifer

Now you understand why some of us complain about the translation

I have a question about the punctuation in this example.  Do you mean
the backslash or the forward slash, please.  Whenever I have to use
computer braille to define where a file is or to create a new file,
the paths and so on have forward slashes in them.  I'm slightly
confooz`ed! 

<smile> And I want one of those chocolate fish too!  Somebody, years
ago, sent me some Timtams from Australia.  I loved them!  Wish they'd
sell them here!
