You are absolutely correct, of course. The ~ is 'understood' by IDLWAVE
in the sense that it will expand filenames from it by using the TAB
key, but then the string containing ~ is not recognized by the
interpreter.
If I am making this kind of mistake, it means it's time to go home and
get some rest. Thanks!

This generally means that it is not finding the file. Try dragging the file
into a terminal window. That will cause the full path to the file to appear in
the terminal window.
For other OS X users, I keep this little AppleScript on my desktop as a compiled
script named ncdump.
on open (list_of_aliases)
tell application "Terminal"
activate
set macfile to (first item of list_of_aliases) as string (* extract first
alias *)
set unixfile to POSIX path of macfile (* convert to Unix path *)
do script with command �
"/usr/local/bin/ncdump " & unixfile & " | less" (* run ncdump command *)
end tell
end open
Dragging a netCDF file onto automatically opens a new terminal window and does
an ncdump.

Perhaps the '~' is not being expanded properly in your filename.
Try moving the file elsewhere, and putting in the exact full filepath.
I can read it.
IDL> ncdf_cat,filename
% Compiled module: NCDF_CAT.
% Loaded DLM: NCDF.
Dimensions 5
lat 128
lon 256
bnds 2
plev 17
time 1(Unlimited dim)
.... etc ....
Cheers,
bob
