http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix1.html http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix2.html Sections 1.4, 1.6 part 2, and 2.1 demonstrate use of '.' and '~' to represent directory names. To the best of my knowledge, '.' is intrinsic to the filesystem design, whereas expansion of '~' is handled by your shell. I hope someone else here will correct or elaborate that statement if necessary.
