That's strange. If I read the code of `expand-file-name' correctly, setenvinv HOME should be the right thing to do for what you want, as it determines the expansion of "~" via a call to a C function: egetenv ("HOME") -- which does the obvious. Could you explain, in what way this does not work? What directory do you see, if you type `C-x d ~ RET'? If not at the right one, please start Emacs like this: emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(setenv "HOME" "/User/shug/GNU")' and post the value of the variable `process-environment' (which you can get via `C-h v').
