The example in the documentation is meant for Windows/DOS.
It uses backslashes in look_at() and searches C:\MYFILES.
You should change the printf() statement in the example
from:
     printf(1, "%s\\%s: %d\n", ...
to:
     printf(1, "%s/%s: %d\n", ...

walk_dir() itself, in file.e, does not use backslash anywhere.
It uses SLASH, which is set to either backslash or forward
slash depending on platform().
