I use ffap (bound to c-x c-f) all the time. However, I edit many files in which there are references to filenames that use shell environment variables as part of the path. For example - /home/${USER}/.cshrc . Is there a way for ffap to expand/substitute this? It would make my life a lot easier. Thanks, David
