Yes.  That's why I expected it to fail.  :>   In a normal command line
I would put single quotes around that and it would be fine, or
backwhack the /.  Unfortunately, Racket disliked both of those
solutions, hence the problem.

I'm trying to download a friend's files and was trying to use the
filenames she gave them on Flickr.  I already had a working version
that transformed the filenames to remove difficult characters, but I
was hoping there was a cleaner way.  Thank you for the help -- I
hadn't realized the bit about needing -O to be separate.
