image_dir$ = "data\\images\\"

...is giving me a syntax error, but...

image_dir$ = "data\\images"

...doesn't.

What am I doing wrong?

dir$=GETCURRENTDIR$()
PRINT dir$, 100, 100

...solved it for me. GLBasic uses forward slashes in filenames even under Windows, so "./data/images/" works across platforms which is helpful.

Still, how would you have a string with multiple backslashes if it errors at two?

use "/" slashes _only_

Mabe this should be clarified in each help-subject for a command that needs a filename, might lower the support questions for people not able to load their images :-)
