Thanks to everyone who responded.

I just re-checked the docs (which are marked as current for 1.9; I'm
using the 1.0.10 build) and they don't list an $ELSEIF which is
consistent with the warning I get when I compile your code: 

verify.pas(50,2) Warning: Illegal compiler directive $ELSEIF

But your pointer to the system unit was very helpful; I'll use
system.DirectorySeparator, as you suggested.

Thanks again.
