pwd is the POSIX (a standard for Unix-like systems) command for "print working directory." It has been used in most of Videlectrix's text adventures, as a secret command to show your location in a pseudo-POSIX directory style.
The ~ is a POSIX shorthand for "home directory", the equivalent of Windows's "My Documents" (eg ~peasantsquest would mean the user peasantsquest's home directory).
