#18 assigned enhancement
Make 4OS2 more Unix-like (sane forward slash handling; sane quoting & escapes, etc.)

Description
It's great that 4OS2 can recognize slashes as path separators. However, when using autocomplete, for example, starting a path with "/" should then trigger recognition and subsequent <tab> entries should insert "/" vs "\".
Example:
[c:\]cd /somedir<tab>
results in:
[c:\]cd /somedir\
instead of:
[c:\]cd /somedir/
Example #2 - recognize "-" as a substitute for "/" when passing options to commands:
[c:\]xcopy -?
results in:
0 file(s) copied.
instead of:
Use the XCOPY command to selectively copy groups of files.
Syntax: XCOPY [drive:][path] filename [drive:][path] [...]

Further examples:
Apparently, in one case, "[" is breaking the expansion, in spite of the quotes, and in the other, the ";" (not the "(") appears to be the stumbling block.
