It works because it evaluates to the same string as the string without
the backslashses. Backslash is a quote character that specifies that
the character following the backslash should not be interpreted as a
special character (e.g. " or \). Since letters (in your case p and s) do
not need quoting nothing will be done (except removing the \).

So
D:/\pascal/\sig/\sig.exe
is the same as
D:/pascal/sig/sig.exe

The backslashes are completely unnecessary in this case.

The attachments did not make it here. Did anyone else on the list
receive them?
