use 2 slashes.. hear I'll find my line in the mel..

hear we go. Make it like this.. of corse with your drive structure. and you should be ready to go..

string $pathL = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\maya\\scripts\\GIJoe.lights";

yours might be like "C:\\Documents and Settings\\maya\\scripts\\GIJoe.lights"

I know funky isn't it ?
