Re: [Gnuplot-info] system independent access to home folder and script folder?

Not totally clear of the objective here, but FWIW, you can specify a 
path using "./abc/efg/hij" (i.e. using a forward slash) on both Windows 
/and/ Unix/Linux, whereas Unix does not understand the '\' character in 
this context. So the forward slash is system independent.
