Change your thinking. To add a filename to a directory spec just add the
filename:

	""		"filename"
	"/"		"/filename"
	"dev:"		"dev:filename"
	"subdir/"	"subdir/filename"

That last one is where you have to make a breakthrough. It works. Then, to
go back up a level append a slash. It works.

AmigaDOS isn't UNIX, even if it feels like "UNIX LITE".
