Exactly: Here is the relevant code from make_filename:

      if (first_part[1] == '/' || !first_part[1])
        {
          /* This is the "~/" or "~" case.  */
          home = getenv("HOME");
          if (!home)
            home = home_buffer = get_pwdir (xmode, NULL);


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
