how do i make some menu items dynamic?

Hi there,
I have a navigation menu built using the menu block in the drupal admin.
One of my menu items is "Update my details" which is currently pointing to a static node.
I would like this to link instead to the user/edit page so people can update their username, email and other profile bits.
The problem is, the url is /user/uid/edit, where uid is the, well, user id (so my edit page is /user/1/edit/)
How do i use the admin page and the text field for path to dynamically link to the edit page for the person currently logged in?
Thanks
Lee

thanks juned -- i will keep this in mind but at this stage i'm trying to do what i need from the admin and without dipping into the code, as the bulk of the menu items are standard nodes and all configured through the admin.
Token module
Couldn't you enable the Token module and use /user/[uid]/edit though ?

have tried enabling the token module -- the menu module doesn't seem to be supported as when i try and put /user/[uid]/edit into the "path" field for the menu item, drupal hides the menu item altogether :)
i'm looking into using the pathauto module however and hopefully this will help me do what i want...
My apologies - I shouldn't
My apologies - I shouldn't have opened my gob without testing it first. Just presumed it should - no idea why it doesn't though.
Weird.
Again, sorry for that
I did exactly this using the
I did exactly this using the very small and simple 'me' alias module.
