Well VMS also had this nonsense for fully qualified paths, NODE"accountname password"::device:[directory.subdirectory]filename.type;ver everything except filename.type is optional based on the users current DEFAULT (pwd in unix parlance). And required extensions and used the "." separator making it overloaded and confusing to read at a glance. Edit: forgot a few parts of the qualified path.
