SÞ I recall seeing some time ago a description of how to set up MS-DOS so
 Þ it uses '/' instead of '\' for the path separator.  Now that I want to
 Þ do this, I can't find the information, though I've looked all through
 Þ the manual.  Can someone spare a clue?


Yes there was a way, some environmental variable to be defined as /
instead of \, but unfortunately MS-DOS version 5.0 and up will have the
backslash (\) hardcoded so it will be no longer possible to switch.
