Uh, it's "\" that is AB-normal.  ANyway, _either_ works, but of course, the "\"
is the ESCape character in C-ish strings, so you have the choice:

Remain a Thrall to the evil of Mordor ^W Microsoft and use

   "e:\\sbbs\\xtrn\\news.txt"

(escaping the backslashes with another backslash), OR:

Join the civilized world and use

   "e:/sbbs/xtrn/news.txt"

or as civilized as possible, seeing as you have to stick with that abomination
known as a "Drive Letter".
