   Could you try fixing it that way?

It would probably be a lot better to do the complement: look for all
environment variables whose value starts with / or ~.  Emacs supports
file names that start with $ if the $ is not followed by an
environment variable, or if the $ is doubled up.  I may be overlooking
something obvious, but is therE a reason not to use `getenv'?

Sincerely,
