Subject: Emacs on Windows, isn't ~ supposed to be home dir?
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 10:52:53 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6377028f-938f-47b5-86a6-3f4034244d5b@h2g2000yqg.googlegroups.com> (raw)
in emacsW32 on Windows, “~/” points to
“c:/Users/xah/AppData/Roaming/”
but i was expecting it to point to:
“c:/Users/xah/”.
can anyone know why? Is this just a emacsW32 quirk or is this supposed
to be that way? Is this just a Windows env var that i didn't set, or
is it some emacs setup? (am not familiar with windows env var or
cmd.exe)
am asking because i have many init files and elisp functions that take
a path, and on unix ~ is user home root.
thanks.
Xah
