OK, lets clarify this. /System/Development can be interpreted both as Amiga path and Un*x path. As Un*x path it indeed can be translated to Amiga path System:Development/, but if it's an Amiga path, it can be translated to ../System/Development in Un*x. You simply cannot tell by parsing simply the input of FExpand inside FExpand, that what you should do there, as both are valid options. This is why a separate function is need to be added, where the context (the calling environment) requires the path conversion.
