    There's the cmd.exe shell (but that shell is unusable for this exercise).
    Also, the msys2 shell will accommodate backslashes in the path ... so long as they're escaped:

$ ls C:\\_32\\Python27\\doc
python274.chm

sisyphus@Owner-PC311012 MINGW64 ~
$ ls C:\\\_32\\\Python27\\\doc
python274.chm

sisyphus@Owner-PC311012 MINGW64 ~
$ ls C:\\\\_32\\\\Python27\\\\doc
python274.chm

sisyphus@Owner-PC311012 MINGW64 ~
$ ls C:\\_32\\\Python27\\\\doc
python274.chm

    That could (potentially) be useful.

    Cheers,
