Hey....I'm utterly lost trying to use Linux things in OS X.I downloaded the source code stuff for SMAUG (if you don't know, a type of MUD) and in the faq it says i have to decompress it in my home directory...I can decompress it and everything with Terminal or Stuffit, but i just don't undertstand what my "home directory" would be on X. Can someone help me out please? ~ Ender

When in the terminal your home directory is specified by using

code:
~username
