Like Scheme, Prolog interprets \ as an escape character, so if you
want to use backslash as a path separator in file names, you do indeed
need to double it.

Also like Scheme, Prolog is happy to use / as the path separator,
so if you want to use unix-style path names instead of DOS-style ones,
you won't have to double them up.

Unlike Scheme, the Prolog interpreter will allow you to use the arrow
keys to edit commands you are entering or to recall past commands (just
like bash, tcsh, etc.), something most people don't like about MIT
Scheme.
