File forward/ back\ slashes

This is a resend... Don't think the first one went through.

Maybe this is a known issue, but just in case...

On WinXP, Rev 2.51, if you do an "if there is a file
c:/somedirectory/somefile then..." it returns false, even if the file does
exist. Change it to "if there is a file c:\somedirectory\somefile then..."
you get a correct result.

Yet, it appears, all the other file commands such as rename file, delete
file, etc. expect and work with the forward slash notation.
