Actually, I haven't had this problem much. On the few occasions I do have
it, I use two backslashes (from the shell) as a path separator.

I think earlier versions of MKS had a bug that made setup difficult. The
version I have, 2.2, has a /etc/inittab file, which make setting up the
login shell not much different from setting up an autoexec.bat. However,
you do have to read the manual :-).
