The name "~" is expanded by the shell; specifically an unquoted ~ at the start of a pathname, followed by a /, is replaced by the contents of the environment variable HOME, or, if HOME is not set, by the home directory of the user executing the shell. If you are not using the shell, you need to expand "~" yourself. Ian
