Currently (As interpreted by the File System) Unix naming conventions
are used for simplification.
	:Dir:File	- refers to ./Dir/File
	::Dir:File	- refers to ../Dir/File
	Vol:Dir:File	- refers to Vol:Dir/File
		Note that a leading ':' means path is relative to
		current folder.  Absence of a leading ':' and presence
		of a later ':' indicates the first element is a Volume
		Name, not a Folder Name.
	File		- refers to ./File
	:File		- refers to ./File
Note that in the above 'Dir:' really matches the pattern (Dir:)+
