But it is (at least for me), I get the ~ substitution all the time
with NT emacs. Maybe there is some upper/lower case or \ / issues
that make emacs think the prefix doesn't match HOME, so it doesn't
do the substitution?
(Actually, I keep meaning to work on a patch to add a variable you could
set to turn off the stupid ~ substitution in the read file name code.
I hate that a perfectly good absolute name gets mangled by having
a ~ replace part of it. Makes it a pain to do things like copy the
dirname out of the minibuffer to mail to someone else, because they
certainly don't know what my ~ is).
