    #  path.

    #  begin with a colon, and all full paths end with a colon.
    #  In full paths the first name (e g HD above) is the name of a mounted
    #  volume.
    #  These names are not unique, because, for instance, two diskettes with the
    #  same names could be inserted. This means that paths on MacOS are not
    #  waterproof. In case of equal names the first volume found will do.

    #  grandparent etc.
