Newbie question re path names

[Bob Sneidar]

BTW this is not a revolution issue but an OS one. This is how the OS  
refers to the root of the startup volume. The first slash means "The  
startup drive". For other volumes you would access the mount point  
folder which is Volumes i.e. /Volumes/My Other Drive/Some Folder/...

To access the home folder of the currently logged in user you start  
with a tilde ~ i.e. ~/Documents/Some Folder/...
