define the path and name of a file by a double-quote ?

1) In csh, it does not work if we try to save the tt from current directory into a new directory ~/dire1/dire2/ with a new filename  "~/dire1/dire2/aa_temp" as below:

set appendix_name = temp
cat tt  > "~/dire1/dire2/aa_"$appendix_name  (Not work)

The csh can not find the file ~/dire1/dire2/aa_temp !! (No such file or directory)
The same thing happens if we:

ls "~/dir1/dir2"           (Not work)

2) It works if we remove the double quote:
cat tt   >  ~/dire1/dire2/aa_temp   (work !)
ls ~/dir1/dir1

3) it also works if we give the complete path with a double quote:
cat tt >   "/home/user/dire1/dire2/aa_temp"        (work !)
ls   "/home/user/dir1/dir2"  




The double quote defines the string. but this string is not recognized by csh as a proper path/file, if it does not has the complete path.
