Internally, yes, but I don't think command.com can handle them.
Hm, I'm no expert on this, but this is taken from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html:

Path separators
The MS-Windows command interpreters, command.com and cmd.exe, understand
both the backward slash '\' (which is the default) and the forward slash
'/' (such as on Unix) in filenames. In general, it is best to use
forward slashes, since some programs internally use the filename, e.g.
to derive a directory name, and in doing this rely on the forward slash
as path separator.

So maybe still worth a try?
