@cindex home directory shorthand
  You can use @file{~/} in a file name to mean your home directory,
or @file{~@var{user-id}/} to mean the home directory of a user whose
login name is @code{user-id}@footnote{
On MS-Windows and MS-DOS systems, where a user doesn't have a home
directory, Emacs substitutes @file{~/} with the value of the
environment variable @code{HOME}; see @ref{General Variables}.  The
@file{~@var{user-id}/} construct is supported on those systems only
for the current user, i.e., only if @var{user-id} is the current
user's login name.}.
