To use the slashes as in a directory path, you must specify a pair of
slashes for every slash that exists in the path. This is because \ is
considered the first of two characters to represent a special character,
like \t or \n
For example, to open a path to a fictional bitmap called dog.bmp in the
C:\windows directory, you must use:
c:\\windows\\dog.bmp
