I propose the following order of precedence:
Highest: Registry setting (when available).
2. HOME
3. HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH
I would have thought that HOME should be first, as I would presume
that it is easier to temporarily change the value of HOME than the
registry setting (I don't use Windows, so I don't know this for a
fact).
Also, it would seem (to me) sensible for ~ to mean the same thing to
both XEmacs and the shell in as many cases as possible.
