Although automatic tilde expansion has been removed from Tcl version 9, I found one instance in the Tk sources where it hasn't been addressed. Specifically, in tk/win/winMain.c, the Tcl variable "tcl_rcFileName" is apparently given the value "~/wishrc.tcl".

No, I did not.  Thank you for the link- I will do so.

This is a known bug which could not be fixed as the tilde expansion did not have a C interface jet.
This will be corrected by currently TIP 701 (in voting).

The file you found were not jet in the list. I added it to this bug.
Thanks for all,
