Did we at some point have a separate document with this information,

how we have a document about the LaTeX configuration?
I don't recall this ever being documented (other than repeatedly on
the user list). Could the configure script just write the full path
into the LaTeX config document?
I'm not sure it's exactly the same as the full path though? I mean, it's
expanded whenever it (~) is used.
Ok, you lost me there. What I meant was, can the configure script
insert into the config document (near the top) something like
"Your home directory is /home/bozo/.lyx"
or
"Your home directory is C:\Documents and Settings\bozo\Application
Data\lyx16"
depending of course on the OS (and basing what is written on the
location the installer used when setting up the user directory)? In
other words, expand the ~ in what is written in the config document.
That would alleviate some confusion on Windows with people whose home
directory is on a server, or a D: partition, or anything other than C:.
