path

Use path instead of pathname, both in general references and in syntax.

Use path to refer to a drive and any folders below the root directory. When a path also specifies a file, use full path.

In command syntax, use path to represent only the folder portion of the full path:

copy [drive:][path]filename

To indicate a path, first type the drive name, followed by a colon and a backslash. Then type the name of each folder in the order that you would open it, separated by a backslash, as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\user1

Use address or URL, not path, to refer to a location on the internet.

In general, use path of, not path to, to refer to the location of a file.

Example
The full path of my current tax form is:
C:\Documents and Settings\user1\My Documents\Taxes\This year's taxes

When documenting products for the Mac, use colons with no spaces to separate zones, file servers, shared disks, folders, and file names. File names don't require extensions.

Example
(Mac) Macintosh HD:My Documentation:Sales CORP-16:TOMCAT:EX130D Mac Temp:Workbook1
