The \a in the string is interpreted as an escape sequence (specifying the bell character) - not a backslash followed by an a. You need to escape the backslash with another backslash for it to be interpreted as a literal backslash. I.e.:

use "c:\\a.ml";

You can also use forward slashes instead of backslashes to avoid having to escape anything.

Also note that if you invoke the interpreter from within the directory the ml file is in, you don't need to specify a directory at all, i.e. use "a.ml"; will do in that case.
