Actually, it's probably not, because HFS can't store a file with a ":" in
it, but can store a file with a "/" in it. But the UNIX stuff means much of
the OS can't handle a file with a "/" in it, so it gets mapped to ":" for
the OS. But some Mac APIs can't handle the ":" so that gets mapped back to
"/".

Probably doesn't matter for the original question, but sometimes useful to
know what is actually happening when trying to figure out how to refer to a
file using a particular access method...

Now if only the Cocoa team would figure this all out...
