Unfortunately, the following file name (for example) works with fsf emacs and
not Cygwin emacs-w32:
$USERPROFILE/Documents/hello.txt
Even some bash commands accept this but emacs-w32 does not.
I use these environment variables extensively to facilitate moving between
different windows logins.
Using environment variables isn't the problem. The problem is that
$USERPROFILE is a native Win32 path. To use it in Cygwin emacs, convert
it to a Posix path. For example:
$ echo $USERPROFILE
C:\Users\kbrown
$ cygpath -u $USERPROFILE
/c/Users/kbrown
