What about HOME and USER when starting Cygwin B20.1

Sun Dec 6 05:05:00 GMT 1998

I was just wondering if one could use the Win98 Username (and perhaps locale) to pass onto the Cygwin B20 environment, mainly bash, I guess.
I do the following when I start B20
export USER=chj # That's my Username in then Win98 registry, others exit on my machine.
export HOME=/WINDOWS/Profiles/$USER
cd 
That would be handy to have automatically. I guess that the problem of getting the Username out of the registry isn't that easy, is it?
For the locale, I guess the problem is similar.
Just some thoughts, I'm new to Win98, coming from Solaris, via linux towards Win32, perhaps...
Any comments are welcome,
TIA,
