----- Original Message ----- 
From: "Stefan" <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>

: It seems that on w32, if HOME is not defined we default it to C:/.
: Wouldn't it make more sense to default it to $USERPOFILE (if set) which on
XP
: seems to typically point to C:/Documents and Files/<user> which is about
as
: close to a "home directory" as it gets?

Good idea!
