I'm puzzled. If they're not escaped aren't they taken as directory level
separators, and isn't that what you want?
For comparison, on a (mostly) POSIX system I do:
pdfinfo "/Users/Johndoe/.../zOSV2R5Library/aoplt00_v241.pdf"
... no need to escape the slashes because they're supposed to separate
directory levels.
Feels like another good reason for not using DOS.
