Oh, I knew that about the tilda but I just wanted to confirm that he meant
only using the folder from the home directory, and not both.
Thanks however for the tip. I agree with you that it is a good reminder.
Chris.

Just a little clarification. On unix systems like OSX the tilde ~ gets
expanded to the currently logged in user. So if you were to use the
terminal and do the change directory command on ~/Library the ~ would
get replaced by the shortname of whomever is logged in. In other words,
by the path provided you will be able to tell that this was pointing to
the user Library folder not the System one. It's pretty easy to skim
past the ~ but it is actually significant.

By ~/Library, I'm assuming that you're refering to the user library, not
the system wide library. Right?

Look in the, ~/library/application support folder. There is a whole
Adium folder where that is kept.

I have a friend who just tried reformatting his hard drive, due to a

it is a major pain in the… Well… You get the idea… I was curious if there
was a file somewhere that I could send him of my preferences, which he
didn't could tweet accordingly to his likings. perhaps something in my
user library directory, or perhaps in the Macintosh HD library directory.
I remember very vaguely trying to copy the preferences P list file over.
but that did absolutely no good the one time I did so. that indeed did
restore my preferences, but it did not restore my accounts, nor did it
restore my preferences. I almost wonder if there is an ex ML file which
is somehow being Parcek which has the preferences for the events. does
anyone have any idea how we could make this easier on him? I hate him
having to spend an hour and a half just reconfiguring the D***thing!
thank you much. With warmest regards, Chris.
