You can change the value of $HOME in the context of Pd:
HOME=$HOME/realtime-pd pd blah.pd
or
(export HOME=$HOME/realtime-pd
pd blah.pd)
which I believe are exactly the same, but with the latter syntax you can
do more... but changing HOME means that ~ at the beginning of filenames
will change its meaning, for any context that understands ~ to mean $HOME.
