[texworks] Help please with Integer constants and use in messageboxes

[Paul A Norman]

Finally got to the bottom of this - I think it was when I wanted to
pass the path of a file to a TW. system() call to dos, it definitely
seemed to require \..\.. backslashes for Win OS.

So I had it in my head that I needed to change the path delimiters
each time from then on for everything!

That's pretty inefficient, and could become a significant overhead if you were loading a number of script libraries.
