Murray, use the ToFileName function in Mathematica. Mariusz

Using Mathematica under Windows, the function printDirectoryNotebooks
defined below prints all the Mathematica notebooks in a user-specified
directory. For example:
printDirectoryNotebooks["e:\\Temp"]
But it does not work using Mac OS-X. Can you indicate how it should be
changed so it will be platform-independent?
printNotebook[nbname_] :=
Module[{nb = NotebookOpen[nbname]},
NotebookPrint[nb]; NotebookClose[nb]; nbname]
printDirectoryNotebooks[dirName_?StringQ] :=
Module[{dir = SetDirectory[dirName]},
printNotebook[dir <> "/" <> #] & /@ FileNames["*.nb"]]
In particular -- and I believe this is part of the problem -- how from
within Mathematica can one determine the path-separator character
directly (without, say, querying $System and then accordingly select the
path-separator character)?
