I try to edit or enter the following in Dired:

    c:\temp\~DF7FB1.tmp
    c:\temp\~cbu_tmp\

But I just end up in my %HOME% directory.  I've been able to turn off
tilde electrification, but cannot figure out how to get Emacs to stop
internally expanding the tilde (~) character.

Google Groups archives numerous questions regarding this matter but no
solutions, from what I could find, have been given.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Bob
