Is there any generic function that gets the "home" directory? This should return /home/<user> in Linux and x:/Documents and Settings/<user> (or whatever) in Windows XP.
Another (unrelated) question: what is the _simplest_ way to read and write R variables to/from files such that they are stored in a human-readable but R-like form? For example, if (say), x is a vector defined as x <- c(1, 2, 3), can I write (and read) x as a file with just one line, namely: c(1, 2, 3) ?
