Good point. I’ll update the manpage to be more explicit. The Korn Shell (although I’ve not recherched whether this also applies to AT&T ksh88 and/or ksh93) has historically enabled tilde expansion after an unquoted (at least I hope!) equals sign, and tab completion also after an unquoted colon. I’ll try to put that into manpage wording RSN. Do note that tilde stuff has become more expand-y recently due to a change for better POSIX conformance, too. See: http://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/src/bin/mksh/dot.mkshrc.diff?r1=1.102;r2=1.103 I wonder what POSIX has to say about your tilde issue… bye, //mirabilos -- > emacs als auch vi zum Kotzen finde (joe rules) und pine für den einzig > bedienbaren textmode-mailclient halte (und ich hab sie alle ausprobiert). ;) Hallooooo, ich bin der Holger ("Hallo Holger!"), und ich bin ebenfalls ... pine-User, und das auch noch gewohnheitsmäßig ("Oooooooohhh").
