What were you trying to do?
I telnet from this RS to patriot (a VAX9000 running vaxult).
My default shell is /bin/csh, but
I have something like this in my .environment :
if ($HOST == patriot) then
setenv SHELL /afs/sipb/project/tcsh/betatcsh
endif
I don't have ~/.xsession. So this is a standard xsession.
What's wrong:
~ doesn't expand to $HOME.
[46] /mit/gleung> echo ~
~
What should have happened:
~ should expand to $HOME. This is supposed to be fixed in 7.4.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I found something about ~ in tcsh in the beginning of the .environment
of marc@athena. I don't know if it would help. At least I tried
typing in those few lines to betatcsh, but ~ still doesn't expand in
that shell. However, if I start another betatcsh from there,
~ DOES expand to $HOME.
