Indeed, '~' was a shell notation, so not an OS feature. And in fact, I used cygwin on windows (for the 12 years I suffered along in that world) and those shells support the tilde (~) and everything you expect from the shells. So it would be nice to support it for all platforms... or not at all. If such features are not going to be supported on all platforms, then I would rely on environmental variables like HOME (or whatever is common across platforms) and simply not use them. -Cam PS: I kicked the windows habit... and cannot for the life of me remember why I suffered along with it even that long. I'm running a mac now, for the last 6 months, and I haven't had a single lock-up or forced re-boot yet. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
