I need to reference my home directory in maxima-init.mac to specify
the tmp file for maxima to write to. However, $HOME and ~ are not
recognized and make lisp throw an error. How is the home directory
referenced in this file?

Thanks in advance.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
