In point of typographical puctational fact:  /  is a slash
A computer mfg. at somepoint invented     :  \  a backwards slash or backslash
There is nothing pseudo about it, it's a real symbol!

Neither has intellectual or practical superiority as a directory seperator 
(except that the slash is in a constant place on the keyboard and various
keyboard and computer mfgrs. keep moving the backslash).  It's all a matter
of which you first started learning to use.  I can assure you that people
who have used PC's for years and have only recently started using UNIX
find the slash just as uncomfortable to use.  And no one likes to switch
back and forth.

Scan your favorite FTP site for SETCHAR, to make your PC use the slash.
