We should all just be grateful they didn't copy the file and drive conventions from TRSDOS which was the operating system for Tandy's TRS-80 line of computers.
Like MS-DOS file names were 8 characters with a 3 character extension however the extension was separated not with a period but a forward slash. Also files could have a password which was separated from the name/ext by a period. Disk drives we're referenced by numbers, 0-7, and separated from the name/ext.password by a colon. For example copying a file from one drive to another could look like "copy ascii/txt.foofum:0 ascii/txt.feefum:1". If you wanted a listing of all the txt files on the current drive the command would be "dir /txt". The file system wasn't hierarchical so there was path separator.
