Hello Bob, Mike,
1.) Bob, in NetRexx (*NOT* Rexx) the backslash is an escape
character, as Mike said.
This means, Bob, that you have to double the backslash in
filename-literals in NetRexx :-(
2.) The advantage is that you may use \n for newline, etc.
Thomas.

Bob, the backslash represents an "escape
sequence" in java. The character following the backslash has
a special significance to the compiler. So in order to pass a
literal backslash you need to "double clutch" and send two.
Other characters that may need escaping include @ ' " <
