For me it is now no longer a problem. Neither has it been a problem in the past. But I built a routine, yesterday, that gave an unexpected (for me) outcome. It allows the user to specify an empty path and I expected addbs() would create a path to the root. Well, it didn't.

I understand Fabio's formal-logic reasoning. But I also understand my own human-logic reasoning. Hope you and Fabio understand that line of reasoning also.
