	In MS-DOS there is a location which contains the \ character
so that if you change the contents to / then you have a decent directory
delimeter.  I would like to do this on My 1040.  Is this possible? 

****Get out your fire extingushers.******

	My guess is that while they were introducing hard coded limits
into the OS they managed to see that the user had some alternatives in
MS-DOS and then they eliminated them.

	My-My It is funny to see a terminal melt while I flame overworked
software engineers.
