Quick way to make :\ in a DOS path

DOS commands often require a "path" statement that tells DOS where to find a file. For example, the command

del a:\personal\memo.txt

deletes the file MEMO.TXT found in the PERSONAL directory of the A: drive.

Buddy makes it easy to create the :\ part of the path statement. Go to the bottom of Buddy's Keyboard Translations screen and check the Change '\\' to ':' box. From then on, whenever you double- click a backslash, Buddy keys in :\ instead.
