[comp.sys.atari.st] micro-C-Shell quirks

Inside micro-C-Shell too, if I replace the floppy and say "cp a:\file ."
(where '.' is the RAMdisk) it works fine, but if the first thing I do with
the newly-inserted disk is "cp a:\folder\file ." it says "not found".
I got used to typing "ls a:\" immediately after inserting a new floppy.
Why is that?  And also: when is that backslash needed?  And why is it
prohibited inside shell scripts in cases where it is possibly redundant
but accepted from the keyboard?
