An Amiga directory path would look

Isn't the ">" an artifact of your shell?
Yes it is. The above was typed as it would be displayed in
the shell, while it wouldn't include the ">" when typing the path for
a file operation.
I would guess the path separator character in AmigaDOS
came by way of Tripos.
I've never had any exposure to Tripos but it would be
interesting to see just what was carried over.
