Hello. I'm a student studying Ada in a Unix enviroment.
When you open files using Text_Io.Open command you can specify a path name
for the file. Unfortunatly I want to use the '~' to specify the directory
/home/(user) 
user been the users login name. So far I have to recompile the source
everytime Someone asks for a copy of my program.
So for example if someone with login name psdrayto asked for a copy, I
would have to change the file name to /home/psdrayto/config and then
recompile. Is there a way to use system Variables or shortcuts in Ada ?

Aidan.
