I'd be surprised if you can do it without programming, but it shouldn't
be hard. Split the path using strsplit() and path_sep(), count how many
first elements are the same, add a chain of '..'+path_sep() to equal
the remaining elements in your from-path, and tack on the remaining
elements of the to-path.

regards,
Greg
