UNC filenames

[effbiae]

on windows, we can load scripts with UNC filename:

\l //wi/c/tmp.q

we can load csv:

t: ... 0:`://wi/c/tmp.csv

but we can't save:

save `://wi/c/t.csv

'//wi/c/t.csv. OS reports: The specified path is invalid.

`://wi/c/t.txt 0:enlist"text"

'//wi/c/t. OS reports: The specified path is invalid.

any workarounds?

I found that if you replace forward-slash `/' with the normal backward ones `\', it will work properly.
