Lately, I've been getting the following message when trying to edit or read a file, using the tilde character (~) to reference files keyed off a home directory: Too many file names Does any one have a suggestion as to what may be causeing this? No one else here at work seem to be experiencing the same problem, so its not with the global environment. And I can't seem to find the message documented anywhere. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyndon C.
