You have to understand that most, if not all, of the developers of K-3D 
are not developing on Windows, we are developing on Linux, which has a 
much richer command-line environment, and the use environment variables 
is used much more extensively on Linux, and this is why you are seeing 
these kinds of things (those of use who grew up using DOS in the late 80 
and early 90s tend to do better with command-line stuff on Windows also).

The Windows version isn't as well tested as it is on Linux, and most of 
the testing on Windows is being done on Win2k or WinXP.  As Tim 
explained, newer versions of the the application that are in CVS will 
ahve more generic path handling capabilities so we can get around the / 
versus \ issues we are seeing.

This is free GPL'd software, you are more than welcome to get the ported 
source code for Windows and submit bug fixes.  It would certainly be 
appreciated to have more people on the Windows side doing that.
