TSE: File: Name: Path: Environment variable expansion

Hello,

Because TSE recognizes also

 ~

which is the user's home directory 
(this works OK on TSE for Microsoft Windows and TSE for Linux)

I had the assumption that also (some) environment variables could be used and would expand
(like %APPDATA%), but that is thus not the case.

Maybe a idea (or feature request if applicable) to tinker about some time?

with friendly greetings
Knud van Eeden

Catching up with March's 104 Knud-messages and their 42 responses. Not a record by the way.

This existing and relatively new extension adds that capability to TSE:

As usual you wrote a string of messages about it, that as not unusual turned out to be just thoughts to yourself.
