Re: How to suppress environment variable expansion by find-file?

Home directories under Windows sometimes (often!?) contains a $. This gives similar problems. I work around that by setting HOME to something else than what the system uses. This is for instance needed to build 21.5 on cygwin. One could argue that expanding environment variables based on the $ sign should not be done on at all on a windows native built XEmacs. It should expand %ENVVAR%s instead!? For a cygwin build XEmacs it is another deal. I work around the homedir problem as outlined above by using a cygwin soft link from /home/username to the mapped network drive where my username windows home folder is.

Another idea is that if the environment variable is non existing then why complain about the substitution in the first place. Just keep the $ and move on!?
