In *shell*, environment variable are expanded with ease, $bla<TAB>,
but why not when you are entering on the minibuffer for C-x C-f?
For ~b<TAB> to expand to ~bob/ one needs the real shell, as the above
don't do it.

In your .emacs Do:
(require 'complete) ;;Better completions for Emacs
(partial-completion-mode 1) ;;start it now
The 1st line may be redundant because `partial-completion-mode' is
auto loaded. Now $foo<tab> will expand to your environment variable.

That is a real problem.
Would you like to contribute code that does it ?
Ehud.

OK, but now
Find file or URL: ~/.pr[TAB]
gives "[No Match]". I.e. it is interfering with my basic layer of
habits. It only happens with my complex http://jidanni.org/comp/emacs.txt
