Note

Deleting a directory with a '/' in its name

Unfortunately, it's possible to create a directory with a slash in its name. The command

@MD:AB/CD

will in fact create a directory named AB/CD. Trying to delete it:

@RD:AB/CD

will give a 39,FILE NOT FOUND error, and wild cards won't work:

@RD:AB?CD

will give a 30,SYNTAX ERROR. The only way you can delete it is to rename it first:

@R0:ABCDE=AB/CD @RD:ABCDE

Path sensitivity

LOAD"21/CMD/:HD-TOOLS.64",12 may give an error depending on your working dir LOAD"21//CMD/:HD-TOOLS.64",12 would be correct
