    In acad2007:
    If I type this at the command line:
    (startapp "c:\\program files\\microsoft office\\office\\winword.exe")
    msword opens

    However, if I assign that to a button on a toolbar, it hangs at (startapp c:
    as if it were paused waiting for input (\)

    If I change to forward slashes in the button macro:
    (startapp "c://program files//microsoft office//office//winword.exe")
    the button works and msword opens

    Why?
