    Ah. Amazing things happen when you RTFM, 

default-directory's value is "~/"
Local in buffer *Apropos*; global value is nil

Documentation:
Name of default directory of current buffer.  Should end with slash.
Each buffer has its own value of this variable.  To change the
default directory, use function `cd'.

    Yup. The cd function works fine.
