- I just got exposed to your GNUPLOT program, have been trying it out
- on a DEC Ultrix system in conjunction with my X terminal, and I really
- think it's great!
-
- I have however noted just one minor thing which seems to me like a
- deficiency.... I don't know how easy this would be to change, but it
- would be useful if the user could enter a "cd" command of the form:
-
- cd "~username/whatever"
-
- The tilde spec doesn't seem to be allowed. (Am I doing something wrong?)
- I also noticed that even this command:
-
- ! cd ~username
-
- doesn't work, as the "system" function call generated by my command
- won't handle the tilde.
