I had the same issue on iOS, here is what I did:

  ;; needed e.g. for loading 'help.doc'
  (setf (logical-pathname-translations "SYS")
        (list (list #p"sys:**;*.*"
                    (merge-pathnames "**/*.*"
                                     (user-homedir-pathname)))))

Now you can put "help.doc" in (user-homedir-pathname), and ECL will find it.
