Comment(by hamish):

 is this from within a specific grass module, from the wxGUI command entry
 box, or from a self-written script?


 the `\` is used to quote the character which follows it verbatim.

 so `C:\Program Files\GRASS\scripts` reduces to `C:Program
 FilesGRASSscripts`.

 one solution as pointed out is to use `/` instead. Another way is to use
 two of them, so that the second one gets quoted verbatim: `\\`.


 ISTR that some OS-specific magic was added to the wxGUI command parser,
 but I suspect the solution to this will ultimately be education:
 gratuitous tooltips and inset Caution-boxes in the wxGUI help pages.
