Jer, how do you make this work? I don't see how EXS could miss this - it 
would seem like a significant bug if it misses these.

In the .exs file, the path info is stored. Path's on the PC are down with 
backslashes as delimiters, whereas the Mac uses colons. It seems to me that 
the Mac should do what the PC does, which is immediately recognize that the 
path is invalid, and start searching for the file name (which would be 
"brass horn.wav" or something like that. Since the Mac character scheme is 
wider than the PC's, I can't think of many or any file names that would be 
misrepresented.

(I don't have Logic/EXS/Mac at the moment to figure this out...)
