Re: /home IFS directory

/home  is the root, the wellhead, the source, the beginning, the alpha of data 
storage.  It is not in anyway like QTEMP.  In /home you will find a 
subdirectory for everyone enrolled in Office Vision usually.  It ia safe place 
for a user to store their data in the IFS and is useful for data transfers from 
the AS/400 to the ASCII world.  It isn't exactly like c:/, but if you think of 
it that way it will not lead you far astray.  It'd be a place users could keep 
their own web pages for example if the AS/400 was the web server.
