In Symbolics 3600 ZWEI in Release 6.0, IP-TCP 29.0, AISite 9.5,
microcode TMC5-MIC 319, FEP 18, Rodent Free Namespace Editor, on Lisp Machine Apiary-8:
I wanted to find a file on a Berkeley 4.2 UNIX. I did not know
the full pathname of the file, so I used the leading ~ character
(~<username> is the same as the pathname of the home directory
of <username>) convention.
I did C-X C-F
SPEAKER:~stever/.int_cshrc
The Lisp Machine merged this with my default,
AP6:>Stever>actors>file.lisp, to produce:
SPEAKER:/Stever/actors/~stever/.int_cshrc
It would be nice to let Find File take an argument to inhibit pathname
merging.
