A compiler specific constant with the system slash for path operations

#PB_System_Slash = "\" (Windows)
#PB_System_Slash = "/" (Mac OS, Linux)

Slash is '/' on all systems, and Backslash is '\' on all systems.
Maybe something like #PB_FileSystem_Delimiter would be a better name?

That would be a #PB_ constant, you better off asking for that in Features Request (even if you can declare it by yourself in 10 seconds using a CompilerIf).

This thread is for requesting Windows OS API constant and structures.

And why there constants like #True, #False, #Null or #PI? Even simple constants are useful...

OK. Better rename the thread to "Requested API-Structure and -constants" or "Requested API Structure and API constants"
