 correct, and it's up to the user to do her own escaping.

+i'm not sure what you mean.  How would i escape the brackets?
+
+escaping the brackets in code like this:
+args[0].Replace( "[", "\\[" ).Replace( "]", "\\]" ) 
+results gives:
+DirectoryNotFoundException: Directory '\[testdir\]' not found.
+
+..which makes sense to me.  
+
+I don't see how this behavior is correct, as i can't seem to find a 
+way to list the contents of a folder with bracket's in the name.  
+
+using DirectoryInfo doesn't seem to help either, as you can see in 
+the example attached.
