As you noted, tildes are a shell concept. I don't know which shells (most likely all tcsh, sh, bash, csh shells at this point but certainly not Windows). Using shortcuts (even if they worked) would certainly make the configuration file non-portable between systems. I was going to let the original poster read the docs and the example I gave to figure out the details. Starting a question with a rant even if you are frustrated doesn't engender volunteer help . . . :-) . . . just my two cents /mde/
