: I don't think it is translating /all/ environment variables - it's just bash
: 2.04 translating a select few. Solution 1: don't use bash 2.04. Solution 2:
: make your program cope with both directions of slash.

Mmmm... if not bash, then what?

I don't want to have to accomodate both slashes, I want bash to just act
normal, so that simple programs written by everyone else for UNIX will run
ok!  Is it planned to change this slash translation behaviour or is it 
here to stay?
