I wrote a macro that will edit the file name the cursor is currently on.
It works great from an xterm when running a ksh.  However, if I am running
an Apollo DM pad (any shell) or a Csh in an xterm, I get an error saying

Too Many File Names. 

It appears to have something to do with a '~' in the path name, but this is something that is necessary. Can someone please explain what is going on?  Here is the macro:

map \E ByWo^[P0i:edit! ^[0"nDdd@n^M^M


Thanks,
