Oof. I was concerned about users not being able to understand ".." but 
even I am having trouble understanding all of the combinations of . and 
/ and now ^. I am starting to think that Pm should just keep the 
existing Group.Page notation and if at all possible make it replaceable 
by a local customization.

No one seems to like the idea of unix paths, but I haven't seen any 
specific objections. Out of curiosity, can anyone tell me why it would 
be a bad idea? I'd like to know if there is some big flaw that I haven't 
noticed, before I put the time and effort into trying to turn it into a 
local customization.

Thanks all,

Jason
