Comment (by lcarreon@…):

 What confused me to use the native() function in my test program is the
 fact that on Windows the string() function insisted on displaying in
 generic format.  Even the native() function did the same unless I invoked
 the make_preferred() function on the path.  Thank you for your
 explanation, I'm switching my test program back to using the string()
 function.
