a really rookie question. I remember that I read sth about this. but couldn't find it now.
I am using xp pro & SFU 3.5. I set up the home directory for a user in computer management. But when I start csh, I am still in the directory
/dev/fs/C/Documents and Settings/***
while I set it to be
C:/home/***
If I type
%echo ~
the output is
/dev/fs/C/Documents and Settings/***
the wrong one.
But if I user
%echo ~user
then it gives the correct one
/dev/fs/C/***
But I am the current user.
Any idea?

Well, when "~" doesn't equal "~user" then they are not the same.
Do the id command and see what the output says.
Then do id user and compare with the previous o/p.
Likely a difference in the domainname portion.

Thank you, Rodney. That's exactly what happened. The domain names were different. It seems when I update the home directory from the computer management, only the account without the domainname get upated. After restarting windows, it is fixed. I mean "the other account" with the domainname get updated too.
I am still a little confused. Does it mean in the SFU we have more user accounts? I mean each user from my windows xp is mapped to two users in the SFU?

You're welcome.

There are no more accounts available than with the Win32 side.
You just need to understand that each machine has a set of users for its
standalone state. Then if the machine is part of a domain that users from that
domain can logon/login to the same machine too. There is something called FQUN (which
is for Fully Qualified UserName): domain+username. This explicitly states which
domain the stated user is part of. When the domain is not specified there is a
default used which is the principal domain. Take a read of the pdomain
man page (both sections 1 and 2) for some more info.
(I'm not going to confuse the issue with builtins for those who know if wondering).

A space is a delimiter for a shell.
So you can either quote the path or you can escape each space with a backslash.
When you do auto-file-completion with, say, csh, it escapes the spaces for you.
cd "/dev/fs/C/something with with spaces"
cd /dev/fs/C/something\ with\ spaces
