Bash history?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bash. Any help appreciated:
1) ~ seems to be interpreted wrongly. If I do `cd ~' I get:
bash.exe: C:WINNTProfilesandyp: No such file or directory
cd $HOME works fine. Somehow the /'s are getting stripped out.
2) History is not preserved between sessions. Although bash
writes out a history file - .bash_history - correctly. It is not read when
I start a new bash. Nor can it be read manually. This means my history is
always liimited to the current session which is annoying.
This is NT 4 SP3.
