setting HOME

setting HOME

[kendall shaw]

I've got a couple of problems.

1. Emacs wants HOME to have DOS filename conventions. If I set HOME to
c:/, then when I run bash with PS1='\w ' I get no prompt at root, and
"./usr" in /usr. Do you know a solution to this?

2. I have multiple accounts on my nt box. I which I could do something
like HOME=c:/users/%username%, but bash doesn't know what %username% is,
and cmd bash just runs cmd.

Any suggestions?

I've set $HOME in the environment of each of my NT accounts to
/home/username and it seems to work for BASH.  I don't use emacs.
