Opinion: double backslashes are stupid.

Ergo, how don't to?

%the Forth way?
/path { currentfile 1024 string readline pop } def

path %os%C:\my\path\up\this\tree\to\my\filename
(r) file

/path { currentfile 1024 string readline pop exch file } def
% percent is a delimiter, so it doesn't even need spaces
(r)path%os%C:\my\path\up\this\tree\to\my\filename
(w) path %os%C:\my\path\to\log\file

Note: this may not work in an executive session since input then has an
extra layer of line buffering.
