Since `find-file' takes an argument, all you have to do is build the
argument using the default path and then pass the argument to
`find-file'. The way to make this easy is to use `read-file-name'.
E.g. some variant on
(defun find-file-home-directory ()
(interactive)
(find-file (read-file-name "File: " "/Users/arided/")))
BTW, I think after you find a file that isn't in the bin dir,
`find-file' will have a new default path.
