I don't know if man or info deal properly with ~ but neither of the
above should cause a problem for which.

I realise they don't affect "which", but I was assuming they might affect man and/or info. See Igors message (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01565.html) which seems to confirm my suspicions. Also, it was simply for consistency (no point doing an assignment one way on one line & another way on another without a good reason).
