Well, that depends on precisely how Trash is implemented.  On most
systems there is a single "trash" directory for each user, plus an
index for each which tells where to send each file back to if you
decide to undelete it.  The logical guess then, is "the .trash
directory under the 'my stuff' directory."  So far, so obvious?
(Except maybe the "my stuff" part: remember, Unix is a *multi**user*
system, so there could be my stuff and your stuff and her stuff....)

The rest is just a spelling lesson.  "The place for my stuff" is
called "home" or the "home directory", and is spelled $HOME (there's a
method to this magic, but surely you don't want to have any truck with
that science and engineering stuff, right?)  "$HOME" can also be
spelled "~".  And *my* home can be spelled "~steve".  You can also
give an address, like "30 Van de Bogart Rd.", or more likely
"/home/steve".  Oh yeah, "under" is not spelled U-N-D-E-R, it's
spelled "/".

Not very simple, but boy is it *short*.  Short is good, right? :-)
