I wonder if it would be a good idea to allow strings to be shell expanded. For example, it would be convenient to be able to write:
GET FILE='$HOME/foo.sav'. instead of GET FILE='/home/john/foo.sav'. On the other hand, it makes it slightly incompatible. Also strings which represent data should probably not be expanded, which would mean that somehow the syntax parser would have to be able to distinguish between the two types of string. Also, would there be any conflict between : COMPUTE x = $CASENUM. and COMPUTE x = '$CASENUM'. Just some thoughts ...
