What does the tilde (~) mean in an amigados 2.0 filename?  I couldn't file any
mention of it in the Using the System Software Manual.  It seems to have some
sort of wild-card properties (for example, dir ~ seems to be equivalent to dir
all, and rm #?~ would have deleted a lot more files if I hadn't done a break).
If it does have special meaning, where is it documented?
