Simple stuff from the simple people today: string manipulation.

I have a string variable which has various chunks delimited by double 
tildes ~~. In order to do what I need to do, I need to extract the 
section of the string after the last double-tilde, so that

"fred~~bloggs" returns "bloggs"
"fred" returns "fred"
"fred~~bloggs~aardvark" returns "aardvark"

I can see that rfind is the thing I need to use, but as usual (gah! 
newbie!) I'm stuck on the syntax.  Help!
