Yes, that is what I am doing. Is fnamemodify() an expensive operation involving OS calls?
From the description of what it does, fnamemodify() _seems_ to involve only string manipulation, possibly checking $HOME and/or the current window's current directory depending on the {mods} argument. There may be one OS call on Unix or VMS if ~user/ (not just ~ which is $HOME) is used in conjunction with ":p".
I haven't checked the C code however. Best regards, Tony.
