Some experimentation shows that Python does seem to provide
*some* translation. Windows lets me use '/' as a path separator,
but not as the name of the root of a partition name. But perhaps
this a peculiarity of the commands themselves, and not of Windows
path names in particular.

  C:\PYTHON24>CD \
  C:\>EDIT /PYTHON24/README
  The syntax of the command is incorrect.
