Is HOME directory broken?

[Joaquin]

Hi,

There seems to be some odd behavior with the HOME directory.  The
default profile scripts are suppose to initially set this directory up,
but they seem to be failing.  I tried this on several different systems
(Windows 2000 and Windows XP), but I run into problems.  I then created
a HOME environment variable in the cygwin.bat file, but this did not
work.  It one case, doing a cd $HOME only goes to the root of the C:
drive, even when a C:\CYGWIN\HOME exists or doesn't exist.

What's going on?  How do I get a functional home directory system
working?

PS - I did not find adequate info on this in the FAQ, nor in any
documentation files.
