How come a tilde '~'  causes braces '{}' to be interpreted differently
on SVr3 csh? example:
command 1 > echo ~
/usr/your_name_here
command 2 > echo {}
{}
command 3 > echo ~ {}
/usr/your_name_here

What happens to the braces on lines that contain tilde. This really messes up
commands like 'find ~ -exec your favorite command {} \; -print'
