Under UNIX it is done by passing the "native" UNIX "echo" command been followed with a file name string to the "native" UNIX shell and "catching" the "Native" UNIX shell output via the "pipe"(see TUnixSystem::ExpandPathName() method). It is UNIX understands just the both forms, namely $(env_name) and $env_name and ~ as well. First is done by ROOT itself, the second one via that UNIX echo command. Under Window to keep the same syntax a special parser should be involved instead. It was on my "todo" list. > The ~ syntax is also used in > > this example file.
