No, you cannot use the forward slash to delimit directory names (at least
with the command shell/file system shipped with OS/2...it is certainly
possible for someone to make a command shell that uses forward slashes, so
you will have to type here/down/there/file.mine.  Yes, you need to use an
initial \ to indicate that the path is relative to the root (that is, 
unless you happen to already be in the root :)

The OS/2 equivalent of links is shadows in WPS, which are sort of a cross
between soft and hard links...it's a slightly different concept...  True
soft links and true hard links do not exist (at least with the default command
shell).
