   Backslashes in strings need to be escaped with backslashes.
   
   CL-USER(2): (length "a\b")
   2
   CL-USER(3): (length "a\\b")
   3
   
   By the way, it is probably easier to use abbreviations: go to the
   current directory using ":cd" and the compile-and-load the file using
   ":cl":

Also, nearly everything in Windows accepts a forward slash as
equivalent to a forward slash in a file name.  The `Command Prompt'
shell is one of the few exceptions, but ACL and most other programs
are quite happy with forward slashes.
