Re: Emacs and Squiggles as filenames

[Richard M. Stallman]

    (file-truename "~/tmp/~")
    => "/home/deego/tmp/~"

That is correct.

    Yet, "~/tmp/~" is apparently the correct representation, as returned by
     (directory-files "~/tmp" t)

They are both correct representations.  However, I am surprised
that directory-files returns names using ~/.  It does not do so
when I try it.
