IIRC, Netware supported this. I used it all the time about 7 years
ago. "...." meant "../../.." and so on.

Oh I wish I knew.

I've claimed that, now I'm not so sure. I know that 10 years ago
I used to do that all the time in some environment, possibly
ThinkTank.
Remember that in the command shell the arguments, except for
substitution of variables, are apparently not typically parsed
by the shell at all. So the handling of things like this is
the responsiblity of a cast of thousands, kind of like "~" handling
in unix of old.

When we tested it, it was treated as "..", but I've seen other claims
that it is treated as "../.."
Of course, this is just the API layer. When you consider tools, I have
personally seen it treated as ".", "..", and I've seen it cause the
Explorer to crash when tried repeatedly.
