POSIX file "/Users/me/thing.txt" --> file "HD:Users:me:thing.txt"
one thing that doesn't seem to work, though is
POSIX file "~/foo" --> file ":~:foo"
which is not valid, or at least causes an error (AS 1.8.1 here).
what am i missing?
"~" to mean a home directory is actually a shell-ism. Yes, I know the
