	What kinds of errors are you getting? Which version are you
running, and on which platform?

	Tilde-expansion ("~/foo") isn't implemented. However, you
should be able to use "${HOME}/foo". How exactly is this not working
for you?

	You can set variables in the options{} block in
"coldsync.conf", then refer to those variables in ~/.coldsyncrc , if
it helps. If you're running ColdSync in daemon mode, you can also
define multiple users in "/usr/local/etc/palms", and give them all the
same config file.

	Does this help?
