Name
IsAbsolutePath -- check if path is absolute (V9.0)
Synopsis
result = IsAbsolutePath(p$)
Function
This function checks if the path specified by p$ is an absolute path and returns True if it is or False if it isn't.

Note that this expects the specified path to be in the host's canonical format. Thus, a path like "/home" will be absolute on Linux (among others) but not on AmigaOS where "/home" just refers to a directory named "home" in the parent directory. To convert a path to the host format, you can use MakeHostPath().

Inputs
p$
path to check

True if path is absolute, False otherwise
