I believe it is "~". "." is the current working directory, which might be the home directory. It might be guaranteed by Apple, I don't know, but I know that tilde will always be the home directory, even if other POSIX commands have selected a different working directory.

Ian Krieg

Isn't the current user directory just specified as "."?

Ian

This may be a newbie question, but how do I specify the current user directory using a POSIX-style pathname in Carbon? I need to delete a directory directly inside the current user directory so I need to make a fixed path as a POSIX pathname string and then convert it to an FSRef.

Thanks,
