Symbolic links (whatever the OS X term for it) should make that irrelevant. Many UNIX command-line shells, for instance, accept "cd" [ENTER] as the command to take you to your home directory. I would not doubt that there isn't something very similar implemented in OS X at the GUI level, similar to Microsoft's ill-named "My Documents" folder. You should treat your HOME directory as the root of all your data storage. It's probably a lot easier than you think, and mysterious only because you simply haven't learned about it yet. -- David W.
