Asking for the home directory should invoke a platform specific method that does the right thing.
Perhaps on unix based machines you can use ~ ?
Surely you use getenv("HOME") right? ~ is an abbreviation implemented in the shell. It is not meaningful to system calls; i.e. open("~",0) attempts to open a file called "~" in the current directory, /not/ /Users/me.
However on systems that have file security turned on then you
might need to lookup the squeak un trusted directory since the answer could be different.
