Mmm. That seems true enough. But then who starts a filename with a tilde anyway?! But what I was actually referring to was the ability to expand other users' home directories with ~user. That could be handy on Windows, too, but I don't know what hoops you might need to go through to reliably find other users' directories! > Vim-for-Cygwin is a Unix-like build, the shell handles the tilde.
