; Note: In many of the Chilkat examples, you may notice strange ways
; of doing something that should be simpler and shorter.  For example,
; building the path (above) could've been written differently,
; with some simple string concatenation.
; 
; The reason is that the Chilkat examples are written in a 
; proprietary "example code" scripting language,
; and then automatically generated to each of the different programming
; languages you see on example-code.com.  The code generation is
; limited in what it can do.  For example, string concatentation
; is not yet a feature of the "example code" scripting language (as of May 2016), 
; and therefore you won't see the use of a programming language's string
; concatentation operators in any example.
