 I have tried both with the GUI and in python script.[[BR]]

 I am running it using NX client and so my file paths have '\' symbols to
 represent directories. When I use the 'browse' icon to locate the correct
 directory/file, grass automatically uses '\'.  However I am receiving the
 error msg:

 Illegal filename. Character </> not allowed.

 For a similar report, see also:

 page bottom)

 Random ideas:

 There must be something lacking in the ask() function:
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/lib/gis/ask.c#L345

 Perhaps a Windows specific directory separator is needed,
 similar to

 ?
