+                 Note that the forward slash character ('/') has a special meaning in
+                 filename / path based arguments: it acts as separator of the nodes in
+                 the path, thus if a directory- or filename includes a forward slash
+                 (not intended as path node separator), you MUST escape that slash
+                 either with the respective hex escape sequence ("\x2f") or with the
+                 respective octal escape sequence ("\057").
+ </p>
+ <p>
+                 Note for Windows: file path arguments in LSCP are expected
+                 to use forward slashes as directory node separator similar
+                 to Unix based operating systems. In contrast to Unix however
+                 a Windows typical drive character is expected to be
+                 prefixed to the path. That is an original Windows file path
+                 like "D:\Sounds\My.gig" would become in LSCP:
+                 "D:/Sounds/My.gig".
+ </p>
+ <p>
+                 The following LSCP commands even support escape sequences as
+                 part of at least one of their text-based arguments (i.e. entity name,
+                 description) and / or may contain escape sequences in at least one of
+                 their text-based fields in their response:
