The parsing could come from either the right or the left, it shouldn't matter. Parse from right to the first colon for local path/filename :terminals/programs/george/harry/Access! Parse from the left to the first colon for node path mach1!mach2!mach3!whereever: The colon retains it's current meaning, so exclamation marks in the filename would have no more significance than they do now.
