Yes. That is correct. There is nothing special about '\i' and so the shell will simply return 'i' there. You can verify this with the echo command. Here is an example using the bash shell. $ echo isis\is isisis $ echo isisis isisis See? No difference. Perhaps you are confusing DOS-style '\' directory separators with Unix-style '/' directory separators? > IS IT a BUG in mkdir command...??? Not a bug.
