- I have a problem with the way elm builds the elmrc file. It is
- hardcoding in the path to the user's directory instead of using
- $HOME or ~ or something. As a consequence, when that user's home
- directory is moved (as we are having to do), everything goes to
- hell. Every time they run, it wants to create the .elm directory
- in the OLD directory and refuses to accept the = operator in a
- folder name. Could this be fixed in a later patch, or is there
- some way of coercing the existing system to behave itself?
