Yes. But when you write 'root/sub1/sub2/word, it's not a path!, it's a lit-path!. The
little preceeding tick (') makes all the difference.

Nope. Just remove the tick and you're there.

PS. You'll find this list a wonderful place to get help. Don't feel dumb, just come along
with your questions, and don't bother reading all the 300 responses when they go off
into something theoretical aside your question... Some of the first responses usually
replies adequately.
