Yes. Under the condition that I do not use "~" in Tex_BIBINPUTS.
I have to include the full path to my $HOME -- $HOME is not
expanded either. Either the docs are misleading or again I
misunderstood.

latex-suite.txt, line 1126f.:

As h:file-searching does not say anything about variable
expansion it might only be a matter of correcting the docs.

As file-searching can be quite time consuming perhaps the example
could be changed to something like

Example:  >
    let g:Tex_TEXINPUTS = '/full/path/to/home/texmf/mypackages/**2,./**'

While I was at it I set Tex_ImageDir for the first time. But it
doesn't seem to work for me. I have

let g:Tex_ImageDir = '/Users/chris/texinputs'

where my images are stored. So I believed that when doing

\includegraphics{

and pressing <F9> the explorer would also show me the contents of
/Users/chris/texinputs but I only get the current directory. What
am I doing wrong?

Anyway, thanks for latex-suite. Perhaps you don't get as much
feedback as you sometimes whish because people are too busy using
it and it just works ;-)
