It should encode it as %2F, IMO, but I don't know what it does.

Yes, as can LinuxPPC.  The good thing about MachTen is you don't have to
reboot into a different OS.  I don't know what they do with / either.
Under LinuxPPC, though, I have a Mac volume (HFS only, no HFS+) mounted at
/mac for easy access.

Personally, for this stuff I would probably use MPW or ToolServer from
within BBEdit, and use the PPT tools.
