Hey All,

I've defined a HOME environment variable as %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.  In
a command prompt, if get the following:

echo %HOME%
C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID>

In gvim, I get the following:

:e $HOME\

which expands to

:e c:\Documents\ and\ Settings\<user ID>\Application\ Data\

Is there some reason why vim is ignoring the HOME variable I've set?
What is interesting is  that my _viminfo is being read from
C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID> just fine.

Maybe you set it to something different?

        :view $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH/_vimrc
        /$HOME
        :verbose set viminfo?


Best regards,
Tony.
