Tried to add some remarks using fpdoc editor. svn diff gave a huge list
of changes against svn...
ForceDirectories: description
<p>
Note: this function only accepts absolute directories. E.g. on Unix,
directories starting with ~ or .. need to be expanded to absolute
directories first (e.g. using
  <link id="ExpandFileName"/>)</p>

ExpandFileName: description
  <p>
On Unix/Linux systems, this will also expand directories with ~ (the
home directory) to the full, absolute path.</p>

Giving up for now...

Thanks for all the help,
Reinier
